Wind blew,
And then the storm,
Cyclone came,
And then the hurricane,
But I stood still.Sun blazed,
And then the night freezed,
Rain fell,
And then the hail,
But I stood still.Decade passed,
And then the century,
Era changed,
And then the aeon,
But I stood still.Your love gave me,
The patience, the tolerance,
The courage, and the strength.Your love taught me,
The wisdom, the tenderness,
The compassion, and the acceptance.To stand still,
As a mountain,
Shooting up to kiss,
The moon.
~Sw. Chidananda Tirtha
