TOMORROW

Blow winds blow !!

  come forth from hiding;
  empty your storage cellars.
  -
  break the weed at its root;
  roll it over foreign lands.

Blow winds blow !!

  carve your name on the mountain sides;
  place its dust in the sea.
  -
  cause the sea to rise in walls;
  stir the bottom with your power.

Blow winds blow !!

  carry the eggs to a distant pond;
  place them softly in warm waters.
  -
  capture the smell;
  warn of the distant fire.

Blow winds blow !!

  bend the mighty oak;
  make it bow to your might.
  -
  remove the prints of yesterdays traveler;
  bury his trash in your enchanted hills.

Blow winds blow !!

  gather the cleansing water;
  place it with the dormant seed.

  Then cease ! - Then cease !
  leave the land fresh - to be built again.
