Return To The Wind

I've held the names, the rings, the threads
Spoken aloud what no one said
I built a home from memory's skin
But now, I return to the wind

I wore the weight like it was mine
Held every silence like a sign
But love is more than who we've been
And now, I return to the wind

Let the stones keep what they must
Let the dust return to dust

When I go, don't bury me low
Let the sky be all I know
Scatter me where roots begin
And I'll return, return to the wind

No need for names, no need for stone
I was never fully my own
I've been a voice, a thread, a hymn
And now, I return to the wind

I'll be the breath in the barley field
The hush behind what never healed
Not a ghost, not a girl, just song
Still here, but moving on

When I go, don't bury me low
Let the sky be all I know
Scatter me where roots begin
And I'll return, return to the wind

I'll return
To the wind
