The Wind I Hear

As the winds carry across the fields and over the plains,
I can hear the laughter and the pains.

The sorrow of hearts and the joy of a newborn’s smile,
The wind brings to my ears those words so defiled.

Words of hate and words of anger, 
That the people of the world have for one another. 

But to my surprise, in the distance a giggle, a tickle, a laugh, a grin,
Oh, can it be, that once again,
Love has rallied,
From every hill and valley.

To once more keep that desolate wind from gliding atop another shore,
And straight to you, knocking, rapping, tapping, at your door.
No, this is something that you cannot ignore, 

Will you have the love and integrity to embrace what you need to admit?
To withstand the gale force winds and the subtle breezes and not to submit.
