by the seven seas

This morning I had a tune and a few lines in my mind that I put down:

I run with the wind

I'll howl with the storm

I'll calm down like a breeze

by the seven seas

Obviously, the "seven seas" had sprung to my mind because they rhyme. But somehow the words stuck although they actually obscured the lyric. I like their slightly mystic appeal.

Later I added a few ideas:

I'm gliding down as an autumn leaf (that came to my mind because we've just returned from the Canadian autumn colors)

come my time I'm the winter freeze (yet again the subject of death lurking in the back of my mind?)

Whatever! It was too cold for an afternoon stroll so I sat at my computer and completed the lyrics consulting RhymeZone now and again. Here is "by the seven seas":

I'm blooming like a sprig in spring
breathing deeply I've come to life
I'm the bird that courts and sings
I am here to cheer and thrive

hov'ring o'r vast and fertile plains
abundance, richess, luxuries
I'm the sunshine when it rains
to lure you off your infancy

and I ride with the wind
and I howl with the storm
I'll calm down like a breeze
by the seven seas

I take my time 'cause life is brief
while I climb towards the crest
I'm gliding down as autumn leaf
provinding color and some rest

and I ride with the wind
and I howl with the storm
I'll calm down like a breeze
beyond the seven seas

come my time I'm the winter freeze
whispering secrets to the trees
I am tired, but I'm free
I'm free

and I rode with the wind
and I howled with the storm
I calmed down like a breeze
by the seven seas
