The Day the Wind Died
Bob McAfee and Chuck Griffin
At dawn I begin to realize
there is no movement in the skies.
The clouds have gone.
The drapes are drawn,
a funeral home when someone dies.
By noon the sun has now begun
to slowly, surely come undone.
Inspiration fails to start
my heart impaled upon my art.
There is nowhere I can run.
With night the light dissolves to black.
The moon balloon has turned her back.
Her memories
stir up a breeze,
the firmament begins to crack.
Spoken:
Have you seen the face of God
who never smiles except at dawn
when the sun is low and the kestrel rises
on the western currents toward the sea?
The face of God comes rushing by,
peeps down with his all-knowing eye,
flashing a grin
He sends the wind
again into the crimson sky.
Chorus:
The clouds have gone
The drapes are drawn
When the wind dies
Her memories
Stir up a breeze
When the wind dies
Flashing a grin
He sends the wind
When the wind dies
