frightening wind becomes a source of power. protective cave becomes a threat |
The Wind- There are cracks I am beaten Can’t follow my chosen course The wind doesn’t allow it. It tells me where to go, Pushes me around, Or traps me inside. But I just want to be free To follow my own path- That angers it more Booming and Thrashing Let me go! Please let me go A tree has fallen Big and strong, I cannot get by Let me go- let me live! You cannot hold me back any longer! Silence The Cave- The cave is big, warm, quiet It drowns out the wind It drowns out everything It envelopes me I feel safe, but alone It’s dark I hear the wind roar in the distance Then I smell the smoke It’s- it’s coming from me, Deep inside The fire burns within me I cannot stop it I must leave this cave Before all that’s left are ashes of what I used to be I must leave this cave And find water But I don’t want to kill the fire It brings me to life Every fibre of me is burning now Gold and orange and luminous The wind can’t stop this fire Only spread it far and wide Bigger and bigger Stronger and stronger Step out of the cave I have found my light here I have sparked the stones Now it’s time to leave Be free to roam, free to grow. The flame's orange fingers gently caress the land Burning brightly always, forever |
