It snowed today,
But my body wasn’t cold
I was filled with warmth
For reasons untold

It snowed today
But my body didn’t freeze
I glided right though
With utmost ease

It snowed today
But I wasn’t at all sad
In that one moment
It wasn’t that bad

It snowed today
But all I did was smile
Jolly and excited
All the while

It snowed today
But the sun only shined
For I was intoxicated
By you, my wine…
…my spirit…my charmer…
…my drug…my love

Whispers of the Winds

The winds caress my tender heart,

To love the bold across all seas afar,

It calls upon me and my pure young soul,

above all rises of mountains unfold,

as I cry myself to sleep with it’s calming songs,

So tender so mild and motherly warm.

Hush my baby it whispers to me,

Do not cry on the flowers ungrown,

smile upon the sunset peeking behind the hills,

and the changing grass that shimmers gold,

Behold the pain and of the hurtful stampede,

that rocks upon the hearts men of all creed.

Upon this I call to thee my children,

of the blowing winds and mountain grass,

to free your hearts and allow them to be,

Love those who love and keep them close

And let not your minds control your paths,
