INTO THE WIND

Forget riding the waves
And try to ride the wind
With two legs, and two arms
The task is dangerous and challenging
They told you people were not made for flying
Yet a hurricane has carried heavier things
The question is how, you and the wind, can be friends

Open the windows
Listen to the wind chimes
Whisper to the air, your words of devotion and care
At the edge of the cove where the waves rage below
Stand to the wind and show your trust, as it runs its fingers through your hair
Put your sorrows and worries in a suit of light around you
Step out of it, and let the wind have it like it was theirs

Breathe, Breathe, Breathe

Let it flow everywhere inside you
Give it what it finds
Even if it hollows you

Be prepared for the unstable ride
One hour in the sky, and the next you're not there
Breathe when you fall
Breathe when you rise

There is nothing left to fear, when you've made the wind your friend
Listen to the sound of your inhale
Remember the shakings behind the howling, and a hurricane at the might of its dare
Remember the gentleness of the breeze, when a wind chime sweetly rings with flare

Listen to the sound of your exhale
It's yours, and there's no other sound like it in the universe
It's your command to the wind
Your unique choice of what to declare
There is nothing left to fear, when you've made the wind your friend
There is nothing left to fear, when you've learned how to inhale and exhale
