"Breath of the desert fellow wanderer / We are two for the road: we always were"
Two for the Road
Breath of the desert breathing in the fall Under an enigmatic crescent moon Ushering autumn sweeping in the dawn Singing to me in the turning-leaf tree Maybe hope blows in the wind after all Riding in on the desert dawn wind soon
Once I had a love but now she is gone Dried away with summer gone with the night
Breath of the desert you can make things right She went away but you bring a new day Even if I am forever alone The road is worth walking though I know not Where I am going nor where I am blown Bring up the sun now and make it shine hot
Once someone loved me but then she forgot The wind the only constant I have known
Breath of the desert fellow wanderer We are two for the road: we always were
How very lonely. "The wind is the only constant I have ever known"....... What a marvelous line -- along with all the other lines in this piece. You have an exquisite talent, Stevie..... it's always such a pleasure to read your words, even the sad ones.
Much Love to Ya,
Joni
You express your yearning so clearly. I could feel the hot wind blowing across you, through your and around you. So at the end you show how the wind and the movements of the moon are your solace. ~ Sara
