Analysis of Wind Dancer
Sitting in the grass
Studying away
Waiting for the wind to speed up
On that warm summer day
Dancing slowly and soft
Then quicker with the winds speed
Unable to stop
Dancing at the lead
Of the winds mighty howl
The wind dancer flies
Higher and higher
Up past the skies
Dancing so beautifully
Like a star in the sky
She dances and dances
Passing reality by
Then the wind stops
And she floats to the ground
As if nothing happened
Not even a sound
