On the Wind of a Dream

A reflection on presence, release, and the kind of love that never leaves

There’s a kind of love I’ve come to know over time—

One that doesn’t shout or insist, doesn’t chase or require.

It lives in the quiet places.

The space between heartbeats.

The wind you can feel but can’t quite see.

This kind of love doesn’t always look like togetherness.

Sometimes it’s holding on.

Sometimes it’s letting go.

Sometimes it’s just remembering to feel.

Recently, an old memory surfaced—not loud, but insistent.

The kind that taps on your shoulder through silence.

It wasn’t a moment I had planned to revisit, but there it was:

A whisper of the past, a wall that had once held chipped paint and maybe more.

A possibility that a childhood bedroom might have held more than growing dreams.

And suddenly I was spiraling, wondering whether what I didn’t know then… could have mattered now.

But here’s the thing.

That spiral brought me to stillness.

And the stillness brought me to this.

A song I wrote years ago floated back to me like a letter I’d never mailed.

And now—years later—I realized I had finished it.

It had been waiting for me to arrive.

“On the Wind of a Dream” is a lullaby, a letter, a love song to the kind of connection that survives distance and defies time.

It’s not about what we hold onto.

It’s about what holds onto us—even when we let go.

I hope it reminds you, as it reminded me, that presence doesn’t always mean proximity.

That love doesn’t disappear.

And that home is not a place—it’s a frequency.

One we can return to, again and again,

on the wind of a dream.

On the Wind of a Dream

Lyrics by Allison2020

Yes you are mine

Although you didn't find

Your way into this world through me

I knew your heart

Right from the start

Our rhythms align naturally

I wished

you here

On the wind of a dream

I love watering your soul

And cheering as you grow

While you shape your identity

Here’s my advice:

Keep your heart light

Trust your wings and follow the breeze

Hope takes root

On the wind of a dream

As the years come and go

I truly hope

To bear witness to everything

On the off chance I can't

Or life changes our plans

Open your window and feel the unseen

My love will fly

To you each night

On the wind of a dream

There were moments I

Had to let go

So you could learn what you need to know

If somedays you ache

Unsure what’s real

Just sit with the breeze and let yourself feel

My love is present

More than a dream

It’s roots and it’s wind – it’s always been

Living inside you

With each breath you breathe

In the settled place between heartbeats

Your lungs are the wind

Your heart is the dream

You’ll always have a path back to me

Follow it home

This love will guide you

On the wind of a dream
