Who can journey with the wind? bei Poetry.de

Who can radiate with light's pure gleam?
Who can pour with heavy clouds?
Who can blossom with the land?
Can flow with streams beyond doubts?

Who can journey with the wind?
Can soar with birds so high?
Who can carry with the earth?
Lie with stones beneath the sky?

Who can blaze with fervent fire?
Can strike with flames untamed?
Who can root just like a tree?
Stand with mountains, unnamed?

I can sail before the wind
Blossom with the flowers' grace
But I cannot go alone
Without y o u my path to trace

Who can journey with the wind?

Is that a common expression? I would have said "travel with the wind".

Yes, it's fine.
When you say "journey" instead of "travel," it often paints a picture of something more than just a trip. "Journey" suggests a longer, deeper, or more meaningful experience. It's not just about going from one place to another; it's about the experience, the transformation, and the significance of it all. So, when someone says "Who can journey with the wind?", it feels like they're talking about more than just moving with the wind. They're talking about being part of something bigger, a kind of experience that changes you in some way.

Thx for the explanation which, however, is not congruent with that in the Random House Dictionary. It just says: "travelling from one place to another" and "passage or progress from one stage to another" etc. None of the examples given refer to "journey" as a verb, though the expression "the journey to success" may reflect the deeper meaning of the word in comparison with the words "travel", "trip" or "tour".

Ich habe auch noch mal recherchiert und fürchte, dass dieser Ausdruck tatsächlich unüblich ist, obwohl er teilweise lexikalisch geführt wird. Ich würde journey Stand heute auch durch travel ersetzen, was nicht ganz so malerisch ist.

Unüblich ist er definitiv, es wird aber verstanden und setzt vor allem in der Poesie eine schöne Nuance.
