Wind blew,
And then the storm.
The cyclone came,
And then the hurricane.
But I stood still.The sun blazed,
And then the night froze.
Rain fell,
And then the hail.
But I stood still.Decades passed,
And then the centuries.
Eras changed,
And then the aeons.
But I stood still.Your love gave me
Patience and tolerance,
Courage and strength.Your love taught me
Wisdom and tenderness,
Compassion and acceptance.To stand still,
Like a mountain,
Rising high
To kiss the moon.~ Sw. Chidananda Tirtha
