A Warrior's Prayer

Come that I may understand
how much that I don't know.
Send the wisdom of the wind
to blow into my soul.

I have guessed and sought the truth
and held against my fear,
embracing all that I was shown
through every bleary tear.

Now returned onto the rim,
the canyon down below,
I seek to see what still remains ~

How much that I don't know.

Stand me tall. Such ancient strength,
shall tear me down as well.
I am but a receptacle
before the lifting gale
