The wind reminds me of her timeless touch Memories of roads traveled with heavy heart Always the pull from an unknown source Calling me out to uncharted waters As the familiar fades like a sun baked tear My spirits take flight on a late summer charge Bursting into the unknown as if a bull tired of antiquities A new adventure whispers to me Across the mighty Mississippi I catch my breath, knowing this is kismet All roads have led to this one road This bridge to a new chapter Full of the freedom of choice The freeing notion of doing something For sheer love Finding passion growing out of cracks in walls No moment unnoticed The world is alive and wants to live! As I want to live with it and embrace every atom Every heartbeat tapping and pounding Like a homeless drummer’s bucket in Pioneer’s Square I’m everywhere For a few fleeting seconds of time Then back to this harp-shaped bridge To meet new eyes, and hear stories from old souls To create something collectively Leaving our painted tattoos etched inside one another And our mark on the wall of the world
