Try to catch the wind...

In the chilly hours and minutes,
Of uncertainty I want to be,
In the warm hold of your loving mind.

To feel you all around me,
And to take your hand along the sand,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

When sundown pales the sky,
I want to hide a while behind your smile,
And everywhere I'd look your eyes I'd find.

For me to love you now,
Would be the sweetest thing, 'twould make me sing,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

When rain has hung the leaves with tears,
I want you near to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind.

For standin' in your heart,
Is where I want to be, and long to be,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

-Donovan, "Catch the Wind"

I love this song, but I always thought it gave up too easily. If you love someone as much as the lyrics suggest, then you do everything you can to make it work with that person. Even if it's as hard to be with them as it is to catch the wind. If it is, then, to my way of thinking, you grab a jar and climb the nearest mountain. Or you go and bring them back a fallen star. Whatever it takes.

For Buhba. You know why. <3

Also, this was one of those glorious, gift-from-the-heavens drawings that did everything I wanted to the first time I asked and ended up looking exactly the way it looked in my head. Hurray!
