You’re the echo in the sky, never still, never tied,
A whisper through the trees, fading deep, drifting wide.
They call you home, but you slip like sand,
A river of air, too wild to land.


You rise with the dawn, weightless and free,
A hush in the twilight, a sigh on the sea.
No roots to the earth, no chains to the past,
You dance with the clouds, too fleeting to last.

Your wings catch the stars, they shimmer, they glow,
Yet rain never falls where your heart used to grow.
A shadow, a ghost, too soft to hold,
Chasing horizons, chasing the cold.


Fly, oh fly, don’t disappear,
Let the wind know that you were here.
A fleeting spark, a breath so bright,
Lost in the dawn, found in the night.


Your hands are the breeze, touching yet gone,
A kiss in the silence, a half-faded song.
No footprints remain, no map to retrace,
Just whispers of laughter that time can’t erase.

They reach but can’t hold, they call but you fade,
A specter of dreams in a sky softly frayed.
If you must go, let the wind be your guide,
But leave me a breath where your spirit resides.


Fly, oh fly, don’t disappear,
Let the wind know that you were here.
A fleeting spark, a breath so bright,
Lost in the dawn, found in the night.

Drifting Like the Wind
