THE WIND SETS OUR SAIL
-
James Berkowitz (U.S.A.)
Aloft
The wind sets our
sail
Into the mystic
We travel beyond the
depths of human mind and thought
When a tear falls
from a star
Dazzling the sky
towards the ground
A gaping hole of
violence and injustice across the globe
The internal compass
of our being lost without sight
Striving to make
sense of it all
White light flickers
gallantly on the horizon
The wonder of
existence shines eternal
Lens of life
sharpens its focus
For our human creation
to stand forthright
Poetic eye of
observation
From the spiritual
tower unfolds
Aloft
The wind sets our
sail
Into the mystic
Collectively the
fallen tear gathers and ascends from the earth
Sweeping brilliantly
through the air towards the heavenly sky
Into the mystic
The wind sets our
sail
Aloft
We are home
