“Pardon all runners,
All speechless, alien winds,
All mad waters.
Pardon their impulses,
Their wild attitudes,
Their young flights, their reticence.
When a message has no clothes on
How can it be spoken.”
― Thomas Merton

life is full of wild winds
that roar and howl
through our lives
bending and twisting
pushing
cutting through our defenses
and leaving us cold
and naked
there things
we cannot fully see
or understand
which we cannot grasp and control
torment us
and freeze our hearts
and in our frozen
misunderstanding we would howl back
answering the violence
shrieking
spitting into the wind
and in the violent gusts
of hate and prejudice
our message of love
is stripped
and naked
disappears
