Seek Not the Wind

Sayeth the rose unto me
giveth reason not
for the spirit is free-

Live unto self
and not upon chance
for the soul is limitless
in life's little dance-

Be as the river
which seeks the sea
oneness of mind
complete sanctity-

Search not the wind
for dreams that despair
but fly as the bird
as the ravens that send-

When you look back
at all that you have done
your eyes will see the heights
as the bright, dawning sun-
