As The Wind

I am as impatient as the wind

As no deep calm of majestic valley abides.

The splendid mountain's rough hewn vigour

Is glorious - but none of it in me resides.



The glittering river gliding by,

Calmly impelled to movement by its own strong will,

Lends a fleeting sense of constancy-

Yet the gusting whirling wind over me does spill.



No solemn thought, nor adoration

In tranquility is bestowed upon my brow

Yet my nature is no less divine

For I know God accompanies me, even now.



Gradually the wild wind passes

And yet, it does not leave a void in its sinking

For I worship at the temple's shrine

And hear clearly the voice of God in my thinking.
