Strands of You

Strands of you are blowing by
Central air times twenty fly
I hug the roots and do I try
To not leap into the spinning sky

Hold my hand and here we'll stay
I will not let them take you away
It rages and screams and does not play
But it will not stop me is my fervent  pray

The slashing winds want us to take wing
And dash apart against a storming ping
But that is not how these souls will ring
To thee I will forever and ever sing

No matter what the category
It will not strip our glory
No turmoil disrupts our satori
Nothing can end our treasured story

The wind rages on
The rains pile upon
Roofs are gone
But when the lights finally dawn

It is to you
It is because of you
It is for you
It is with you

That I hold on
