The gruff and generous winds of time,
Some fair, and others foul,
Make fine what was hewn.
Until that which is becomes was.
And was is forgotten.
And that which is forgotten …
Grist for the mill.
Something anew.
Formed and shaped by fresh winds.
To stand and share.
To make amends and build.
Until the winds do their work, again.
