Embraced



Let the wind play the music, dance with the grass as it sways, let the stars be your spotlight, let it take you away; will you make the same promise to the wind as me, to let it one day take you higher, let it one day set you free; to let the calm after the storm ease your sorrow, burn with the fire of the sunlight for tomorrow; fall by day, rise by night, so that what was once seen as black may become much rather bright; crash with the lightning, scream with the thunder, form with the clouds that you seem to be so far under; grow with the trees, shine with the moon, spin around with the leaves that the wind will capture too soon; lye with the rocks, so still you begin to fear, that after space is surmounted, all that remains is 'here'; knowing that it's true, though not knowing how, after you overcome time, all that you have left is 'now'; so cry with the rain, walk with the sky, change with the seasons before they pass you by; and though summer is gasping for breath, growing silent and numb, the wind brings tear-filled leaves with hopes of seeing autumn.
