THE HOUSE OF THE WINDS

Up in the mountains
In the house of the winds
The spirit of nature
Is often present
Dressed in a green mantle
With buttons of flowers
And eternity's garland
Resting on his head

A garland of flowers and plants
In great variety of colours
With great variety of scents
Twined with words of wisdom

The spirit of nature looks at the earth
The spirit of nature looks to the sky
He picks up his invisible notebook

The spirit of nature writes and writes
The spirit of nature sketches and sketches
He throws into the air
Page after page - invisible
Invisible - page after page

All that needs to be done
And how it will be maintained
The correct time for everything
When each thing must happen

All this I see - painted i the sky
Painted with the lov'liest colours of life
Now I know - why the spirit of nature
So frequently visits
The house of the winds
Up in the mountains
