A Tempered Wind Poem by Ravi Panamanna

Transformation for man is really possible.

Once a gale,
A tempest of emotion.
Now a vale,
A happy sail.

Once a gush,
A roaring waterfall.
Now a gentle splash,
Quieting ripples.

Beyond temptations,
Beyond confusions,
He is now a tempered wind,
He is now a happy glade.

It is now a rebirth,
It is now a reflection.
Beyond doubt and reason
He values faith – the meads of life.

He hath reached the inn,
He hath seen the truth.
Life to him is no more a mountain
But pasturage, full of fountains.
