The wind has for ages blown
Across the earths vast face
Carrying rain and snow and clouds
To every earthen place
It makes the mighty oak to bend
Gently carries the butterfly
And unseen fills that great vast space
Between the earth and azure sky
The wind causes leaves to dance
It makes the prairies grass to sway
It travels when and where it wants
Be it night or day
It silently climbs the snowy mountains high
And walks through the emerald valleys low
Unseen by the human eye
Wind is present everywhere you go
The wind is cool upon the skin
Of a man who works and sweats
A sweet relief from the heat
When skin and wind have met
It causes ocean waves to rise
Then to crash upon the shore
It causes the windmills blade to turn
To bring up water never tasted before
It may be felt as a gentle hand
Or it may blow so very strong
It may come at a moments notice
Then just as quickly it is gone
It carries ships across the sea
As the sails of the ship harness its power
And it will bring to a thirsty land
A long awaited springtime shower
The wind will sometimes speak to you
With voices from another time
If you will only stop to hear
As around you it runs and climbs
Spirits from long ago
Ride upon the wind
Seeking to tell their olden story
Will you listen and be a friend
The wind forever remains unseen and free
Uncaptured or held by human hand
And will continue on its eternal journey
Forever over ocean , sky and land
Each breath we breathe and each word we speak
Even our soul is forever captured by what we cannot see
And carried forth into the future
To remain for all of eternity
