Analysis of The wind.



I know how it feels
When the breeze on my face
Praises my embrace
That I'll always know.

I know how it feels
When the wild winds blow
Ice adorned forces
That I'll always know

I know how it feels
When the wind wants to glow
Hot as the sun
That I'll always know

I know how it feels
Through your body to flow
Safe and nourished
That I'll always know

I know how it feels
To ride in the wind
Night or day balancing away
That I'll always know

I know how it feels
To fall in the wind
My skin cells lost; my skin cells pinned
That I'll always know

I know how it feels
To bleed in the wind
Stinging my wounds gushing into needles
That I'll always know

I know how it feels
To make love the wind
For the very first time loosing my say
That we'll always know
