Analysis of Tender is the air
Tender is the air
Tender as the air around us
Song of winds that shake
The barley from its grain
Open quietly to the winter of our lives
Drying leaves swirl under naked foot
Shadows rise
Which none could see
Singing in the winds of time
through the life we never lived
Sowing seeds to growing minds
Wanting seeds to grow to life
and live the life they need
