The Wind That Moves You

i admire the muscle
of the wind
that brought you
to my door.

i marvel at its infinite
glory as it moves my
land and shore,
and drives the hearts
desire
towards the fire that
burns for you.

i am the keeper
of such a flame;
the wind that moves you
tames me-

i am lion,
please take my roar.
