Wind
Wind, don’t push so roughly.
I know I’m in your way.
Don’t hurry by me so.
Let this day belong to me.
You’ve known all yesterdays.
Tomorrow will come soon enough.
Let me feel your strength then.
Let me wonder at your power
as you fill my sails with bluster.
You may put me to your test
proving my skills to respond
by letting my craft leap waves.
Spare me on this day.
Let all your fury subside.
Return when my work’s done.
Put yourself to other tasks.
Turn mills so your subjects may eat
Drive pumps so they may drink.
Legends speak of your might.
Today, hold back your furies
until my ship is safe in port.
