With wind gone
Johnclarestokes
Calm gentle
Relentless wind
Weathering fading smoothing
The long leaf heart pine
We patch
We paint
We mend
But still blows the
Calm gentle
Relentless wind
The second
The minute
The year
The wind cares not
For the time
Rise to face it
Make a stand for
Eighty and nine until
The nuptial knotted threshold
Wears thin to lie at last
In piles of tinder
And it comes
Calm gentle
Relentless wind
To ignite and scatter
The august memory.
