I feel the tinge of a windblown face And set my sails to open space Leave behind my shadowed sorrow To explore wind-fed days of tomorrow I'll find direction from the wind Let it guide and not rescind It's pushing force that moves me on To await the light of every dawn And seek life's measure far beyond These churning waves I sail upon Horizon's thread I'm sure to reach From tethered sails, I do beseech There I'll find a life unspoiled To be free, to be uncoiled And feel the sun upon my chin Always turn to face the blowing wind 8/24/17
