Caught the wind

Have you ever caught the wind, 
And just held it in your hand? 
Have you had an open mind, 
While it blows throughout the land? 
Blowing by you as you stand.
Have you ever reached up high, 
And caught the wind by surprise? 
Reaching for it as it goes by, 
As you opened wide your eyes, 
And found nothing in your hand but lies.
I don't imagine anyone can boast, 
Of such a feat of great renown.
Not one soul from coast to coast, 
Has ever witnessed the wind bound, 
With ropes and chains, securely bound.
