Befriend the Wind

If you ever loose your path
(as if in the midst of the wretched wild)

Consider greeting a bird, befriending a tree;
listen to the ancient callings of the steadfast wind
that spell out the four cardinal directions ―

Then a rose would be your confidant and aide
(for you'd know to read and understand her face)

towards this place of infinite solace
