PRAYERS [FOR WIND]. by JOHN GOULD FLETCHER

First Line: LET THE WINDS COME
Last Line: THE DEEP UNQUENCHABLE ANSWER OF THE WIND.
Subject(s): WIND;

LET the winds come,
And bury our feet in the sands of seven deserts;
Let strong breezes rise,
Washing our ears with the far-off sounds of the foam.
Let there be between our faces
Green turf and a branch or two of back-tossed trees;
Set firmly over questioning hearts
The deep unquenchable answer of the wind.
