- - - - - Whistling Up the Wind - - - - - -
Uncovered in an open meadow
With the silence of a stone
Distant from every shadow
Wounded and exposed
Starting all over again
Would be whistling up the wind
Suspended in the jaws of reflection
All the voices blowing by
Pointing out the imperfections
Piety’s battle cry
How can you say “Amen,”
When you’re whistling up the wind?
