Poetry by Jennifer Olston

As the wind pushes me through the air I dance around care free I don't care if the end is near Or the fall for me is here   In the sky above, above land up high I change colors, I am not shy Sunny days, cool and crisp nights Invite me to tumble, each and every time I am a whisper in the wind One of many in a big tree A speck in the forest One of many for you to see   I have reached high into the sky Kept watch over a starry night Gazed upon a shooting star I was a gentle rustle in a windy night And a lullaby to a small child   I was once a burst of joy In a sunny spring afternoon Lived in a tree in full bloom Rain quenched my thirst In a hot summer afternoon   My, oh my! How time has gone by!   As you see me tumble by On a sunny fall afternoon Think of all the things I did And all the things I’ve seen!

From the time you’re born Till the time you’re old Wondering here and there Throughout this world A baby’s face so soft and smooth Crying out for a change and food A baby’s smile brightens the day A young man’s laugh at going astray Young teenager fierce in his ways Tormenting his parents for better days Young man gone into this world Only to find out, it’s all too cold Lady in waiting for a prince Only to find out, there is no such thing Love or love not Running fast to beat the clock When you become old Everywhere you go, it seems cold You are no longer cute Your crying needs becomes astute As if waiting for death The body does not seem to care Taking it one day at time No longer in it’s prime As the end is near You can barely hear Repeat…repeat…repeat Believe in love, before life is complete

The winding paths of life Bring me to realize I walk alone   For all the days in my life Some good, some bad I walk alone   Through every crevice in the hill And the strength of my will I walk alone   Through love or tenderness Love fills emptiness I walk alone   Every need or feeling I have begged, kneeling Yet, I walk alone   Every disaster brings sadness The vein of emptiness hardens I walk alone   So I ask myself Is there peace to thyself? Yes, there is, Nature is my peace! Yet, I walk alone

You might call me crazy But I feel hazy Such a sight, I can’t put out of my mind Please go easy You are a tease Going nude in an ocean bath If you want to wow me... Love me tenderly, I might just pass out! Never before have I seen... A beaufitul manly thing! F rom head to toe naked, The hot sun glistens on your body You look good, big and hard! You might call me crazy But I feel hazy Such a sight, I can’t put out of my mind Please go easy You are a tease Going nude in an ocean bath

Sail away Sail away Sail away Sail away into the mist Sail away into the fountain of thirst Sail away my love… Sail away Sail away to the pinnacle of the earth Sail away to where man has never been Sail away to the fountain of youth Sail away my love… Sail away Take me to the end of time Make passion burn deep inside Oh! You told me so! Love through me would flow, Through every vein deep into my soul! I want to love you till the end of time Light up your soul Like a rainbow in a thunderous sky To be in your arms When the sun shines Through a thunderous sky Through mud or sand Till the very end You are my love desperado The one and only aficionado Sail away Sail away Sail away Sail away into the mist, Sail away into the fountain of thirst Sail away my love… Sail awaaaayy
