There is a stirring within me.
Like a tornado,
There is destruction in its path.
Ah, but the wreckage
Cannot be seen
Nor is it likely to be missed.
How can this be?
The mistakes of yesterday,
And misleading voices of today
Are in its course!
The still small voice
In all its gentle strength?
It will live on
And waits for me
To turn my gaze,
To incline my ear,
And to listen not to the wind
But to the voice of love.
