Call of the Wind by Brandii Mitchell

I want to flow with the wind and curl

Through the branches of blossoming trees

To dance with leaves in a valley of mountains

And make them bend to their knees.

 

Feeling intangible and curious

Swirling around rocky giants

Is all I need to obey the call

And form a new invisible alliance.

 

All I want

All I need

All I will ever try to obtain

Is freedom grown out of every seed.
