Wind Prayer

Mary Carolyn Davies

From “A Day”

TREE-WIND,

Sea-wind,

Wind that whirls the sand;

Loud wind,

Cloud-wind,

Wind of swaying water—

Let me hold your hand,

Let me be your daughter!

Give me what I need,

Wind of leaf and seed,

Wind of heat and rains!

Say your magic wisdom

Over, slow, to me,

Wind that rules the sea!

Wind that rules the plains!
