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