A Humble Zephyr


She’s a wandering wind yearning
for the place

Where she might find a cloud in need of a ride
or a tired eagle in need of a glide
Where there’s a falling leaf in need of a rave
A bashful brook in need of a wave

She’s a powerful storm yearning
for the place

Where there is an acorn with a need to roam
Or a tangled willow that needs a comb
Where she might find a beaver that needs a dam
or a misled vine in need of I AM

She’s a whispering breeze yearning
for the place

Where she might find a tune that needs a note
Or a fragile bud on which she can dote
Where she’d find a fragrance in need to be sent
Or a breath of life that needs to be lent

She’s a humble zephyr yearning
For the psalm

Where she finds her true name is
known as MOM
