A poem about the Wind of the Spirit by a Native American....

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Here is a poem that was written by a Navajo in the 19th Century,

titled " It was the Wind " . i also include a URL which states that most Native

Americans believe that there exists an Almighty in the universe whose spiritual

force is the source of all life.

 

Please enjoy this insightful poem, which also reminds me of the Wind of the Holy

Spirit (Christianity) and the Wind of Qiyamah (Islam).

It was the Wind....

 

It was the wind that gave them life,

It was the wind that comes out of our mouths now that gives us life.

 

When this ceases to blow we die.

In the skin at the tips of our fingers

we see the train of the wind.

 

It shows us where the wind blew when our ancestors were created.

 

Navajo, 19th century
