 About This Author 
A changeling spirit,  
constantly evolving,  
revolving around an inner core,  
spinning forth legend and lore,  
stories and lives  
as I come to grips  
with who and what I am,  
have been and may be.  
I am a phoenix: 
rising ever above and beyond!

	 Wild Wind Wild Wind 
 
He was gone in the morning when I opened my eyes 
A note on the table said ‘Now don’t be surprised. 
Of course I love you,  but I ain’t the staying kind 
So it’s time to move on, I’ve made up my mind.  
 
I don’t like goodbyes and I can’t handle tears 
And maybe I’ll come back here one of these years. 
Go on with your life, find a man who will stay 
With the prettiest woman down Pettysville way.' 
 
I've gone for a ride on the  wild wind, 
Gone off to someplace I've never been 
Where I'll fall in love all over again 
And then hitch a ride on the next restless wind. 
 
Never was one for staying, for putting down roots 
I get  that ole itch in my black leather boots 
And be on my way chasing some dream 
Across the horizon, for a place yet unseen. 
 
I knew from the start that he wouldn’t stay 
But I’m glad that he asked me to dance that day 
And stayed for a while, came in to my heart 
For I was richer for it right from the start. 
 
A poet, a wanderer,  a teller of tales, 
Should have been a sailor who followed the sails. 
I’m sorry he’s  gone, for I’ll miss his smile, 
But I’m so glad he stayed, at least for a while. 
 
He’s gone for a ride on the  wild wind, 
Gone off to someplace he’s never been-- 
Where he’ll fall in love all over again 
And then hitch a ride on the next restless wind. 
  
 
(together) 
 
Maybe one day I’ll see him/her again 
And maybe we’ll love ‘neath the restless wind 
Where I'll fall in love all over again, 
And then hitch a ride on the next wild wind. 
        (he'll)
