'Tis the wind and nothing more.

This excerpt is lonely and mysterious. It is lonely because it sounds like the one speaking is locking their soul or internal feelings into a place of their own, a place of solitude. The mystery comes in because one must slow down and explore their own heart and thoughts. What exactly is it we are looking for inside ourselves?
