harvesting awe

gathered today we stand in awe
knowing first sod cut June oh four                  *
now five firm foundations fly
fly high the sky
as high as Adam's hopes way back when
sixteen years' campaign
finally secured planning gain
councillors of different hues
vote to pay their eco dues

gathered today we stand in awe
co-operatively mesmerised by our own success
choosing to invest in future world
now each day eco-power's unfurled
let's gaze some more at Windwand simple magic
answering fury of fossil fuel so anthropophagic           **

gathered here in sunshine of five turbines
purring wands breeze their fresh air thanks
Let's now entwine in our arms, Adam Twine        ***
with our whinger-answering, wind weaving, turbines
turning every powerful farming day into harvest time

windswept, humbled, we stand in awe
