Winds howling
raging, alive
spreading wider
all over the world
Change coming
in real-time
all of us watching
all over the world
Wings howling
chants on the breeze
madmen running
out in the streets

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
