Analysis of Only me and the wind
The soul is homeless and life is fire.
We are home. The night is water.
I am here; I am the earth.
Then, I am gone; we are the wind.

About this poem
This poem is inspired by the words of the brown robe, a favorite lyricist of mine. I feel indirectly influenced by the indigenous people that live in the region where I grew up. I have known a few of them and am humbled by there deep reverence for the Earth. It is so relevant all of the time and its purpose transcends even that of world religion, in my opinion. Bless the Earth and all who call it home.
