Winds of Earth
Invisible power
mighty strength,
force of Nature
fearing of no earthly being.
Whipping, ripping, howling -
those inhuman sounds;
gentleness, soothing -
like holding a newborn.
Civilizations have honored you -
Aeolus, Zephyrus,
Aquilo, Auster...
Gods - Greek and Roman.
We build towers to harness you,
birds to ride you,
tunnels to beat you,
structures to withstand you.
You alone mystify us,
entrance us, defy us...
invisible force, mighty force -
Nature's strength.
