Warrior of the wind

whisper says the wind
as it blows through the hills and trees
the sound is beautiful and divine
it shows me the doorway where I can begin
lo, it does call to me
it bids me to drift with it
along its passages of canyons and valleys of time
it rolls and flows in fluidic melodies
as it crashes and tumbles
over the rapids and falls
the boulders of ice

an echo I hear
a voice off the canyon wall
it howls with delight
a roar like thunder
a ‘yote yips at the distant moonlight
a howl with the wolf pack
the warriors of the land
a roar of a mighty bear
standing its ground
it does not retreat
always moving forward, to see what's out there

the sound of the wind in the mountains and trees
it's beautiful, its divine
LO! it calls to me!
a bidding whisper to blow with it
an escape from the prison of time

an echo I hear
it repeats over and over and over
giving courage to walk the path
go without fear
you will see the golden shore
don't look back
always stepping forward

WARRIOR! says the wind!
you are strong, you are mighty!
hold your head high with confidence
your humility shines
you've pushed through hard times
it's ok to have pride

the wind speaks at a fork in the road
do not be led astray
follow your instinct, trust your faith
LEAP! go on intuition, and you will know
the rest will fall into place



In loving memory of my Uncle Robert 'Zim' Zimmerman
he was a warrior in life!
