Don't Tell It To the Wind
Don’t tell it to the wind
To be blown away as vapor
Or share it with a gossiper
As fragile as a dandelion.
Don’t speak of it on the mountaintop;
Even the clouds have ears.
For fear that the Devil hears -
Don’t pray for it aloud to God.
Let the wish build up inside
Then straight-faced, release it subtly -
As your actions make it be -
Until its existence can’t be denied.
