The wind kicks up
And I wake up
Remembering, knowing
In this moment I am alive
Swirling life, dancing wind
The wind dies down
And I hold on
Remembering, knowing
Such lives have gone before
And are no more
Stolen life, somber wind
Soldiers, comrades, heroes, friends
Once here, now mere memory
Carried on the wind
Voices of the past
Whispered in soft breezes
Sung out in storms and gusts
Wind, a reverent witness
What was, what is, what will be
