July 6, 2023I Am The Wind
I am the wind that wavers,
You are the certain land;
I am the shadow that passes
Over the sand.
I am the leaf that quivers,
You, the unshaken tree;
You are the stars that are steadfast,
I am the sea.
You are the light eternal–
Like a torch I shall die.
You are the surge of deep music,
I but a cry!
