The Wind's Lament

The Wind's Lament"

The wind, it wails a mournful song,
As it rushes through the trees so strong,
It howls and moans, a plaintive plea,
For all the things it cannot be.

It whispers secrets to the leaves,
As it rustles through like a thief,
It dances and plays, a fleeting joy,
For all the things it cannot destroy.

It caresses the flowers with gentle touch,
As it passes by, a whispering hush,
It kisses and sighs, a tender grace,
For all the things it cannot replace.

Oh wind, how you mourn and weep,
For all the things you cannot keep,
Yet still you move and roam free,
A wild spirit, forever to be.
