Raging, alive
a fire burning
some hidden
but still coming
spreading wider
winds howling
all over the world
Change coming
a fire burning
in real-time
in insurgency
in protest, in the streets
all of us watching
all over the world

Winds Howling
--------------------
The Howling Winds
The howling winds,
buffeting the boat,
our lives, at
their mercy, the winds of doubt,
of strife, of
fear, our masters
The voice of our
savior, calling us to come
to walk toward
him, to fear not
rather to center
our lives, our beings on him
to come to him
across the waves,
believing in the
miracle of the feedings,
the healings, the
fulfillment of all prophecy
in him, and him
alone, to walk without fear
Ignore the howling
winds,
follow our
savior’s call
walk boldly, for
he died for this
