footprints in the earth.....
An August Wind
Our purveyor chorused
Render due care
Come and hear
I offer a quest to dare
A jungle fanfare
Utopic peak
Come follow me there
As eager sheep to the Messiah
Our trust and souls we gathered
Overthrew all downs and doubts
Like drinking beer with widened mouths
We embarked with our guide
Thrusting to a Joy ride
This much I say
For the tide
Gave us a wind
A varying hand ✋
So cruel it was not soft or sweet
Aching joints
Dancing teeth
Our eyes grew grim
Grumpy backs
Yet heat remained
To keep track
We reached the place
Or call it a spot
Unforseen lack
What a despot
Giving laws
Bent to be broken
Preaching a Gospel
In a cloak of sin
Dear Heaven helped
We were saved
That travellers need
An August Wind
