Go With The Wind in 2017!

12/28/2016

Hello, Everyone,

I know it is a bit early, but just came in from my daily walk of about 4 miles - a very windy one, as it turned out. At around midday, I am sure the wind is blowing here in Laramie from between 40 to 60 mph. I had to watch that I did not get blown into traffic from walking on a sidewalk.

Anyway, a song came to mind - one that I wrote in 2006 that I called ODE TO THE WIND. Without fanfare, let me share it with you below. OK? If you have a melody in your mind that you would like to attach to it, hey, sing it out. I have my own tune for it, but I do believe that most song lends itself to some given rhythm, simply by virtue of phrasing; but whatever tune you attach to it, it matters not. Make it fit whatever you feel - if you like it at all. Alright?

Here is to a wonderful 2017 -
whatever the "wind" blows your way!

Thanks!

Gently,

Francis William Bessler

ODE TO THE WIND


By Francis William Bessler


Written May 9th, 2006



REFRAIN:


Clouds are in my eyes.


The wind is in my face.


The birds are flying high.


They seem so full of grace.


The wind is my friend.


It blows the clouds around.


I’m wondering as I stand -


where tomorrow I’ll be found.



Oh, what is the mystery of life?


Won’t you tell me what it is?


They tell me the secrets of the night


are found just blowing in the wind.



I’m wondering as I stand upon this hill


what are the secrets of my soul?


I think I’ll keep going on until


the wind tells me what I want to know. Refrain.



As I stand here beneath the stars above,


my mind just keeps on asking why.


I know that the answers I can love


are found in the wind and the sky.



I’m hoping as the wind blows so free,


it will tell me what I want to know.


And I think that it’s telling me


my friend, just be grateful for the show. Refrain.



I ask my friend, the wind, where is God;


and it tells me to look all around.


It tells me to look there because


there’s no place where God can’t be found. Refrain (2).



Finish:


Yes, I’m wondering as I stand –


where tomorrow I’ll be found.
