Great Wind at My Back May the Great Wind be at my back Feet not hindered by petty setback May Great Wind stir gently the pool Like silken thread around the spool Will the Great Wind send me back To jungleland from Eden’s outback How the Great Wind stir the pool Tighten thread tensed in the spool Give me wisdom what to pack Strenght to carry my backpack Let not past be just memories full Of anger and grief make one fool May Great Wind blow at my back Feet pushed forward beyond track May Great Wisdom push and pull Weave silk threads from thick wool May the Great Wind be at my back Feet not hindered by petty setback May Great Wind stir gently the pool Like silken thread around the spool Will the Great Wind send me back To jungleland from Eden’s outback How the Great Wind stir the pool Tighten thread tensed in the spool Give me wisdom what to pack Strenght to carry my backpack Let not past be just memories full Of anger and grief make one fool May Great Wind blow at my back Feet pushed forward beyond track May Great Wisdom push and pull Weave silk threads from thick wool Lilian Dipasupil Kunimasa was born January 14, 1965, in Manila, Philippines. She has worked as a retired language instructor, interpreter, caregiver, secretary, product promotion employee, and private therapeutic masseur. Her works have been published as poems and short story anthologies in several language translations for e-magazines, monthly magazines, and books; poems for cause anthologies in a Zimbabwean newspaper; a feature article in a Philippine newspaper; and had her works posted on different poetry web and blog sites. She has been writing poems since childhood but started on Facebook only in 2014. For her, poetry is life and life is poetry. Lilian Kunimasa considers herself a student/teacher with the duty to learn, inspire, guide, and motivate others to contribute to changing what is seen as normal into a better world than when she steps into it. She has always considered life as an endless journey, searching for new goals, and challenges and how she can in small ways make a difference in every path she takes. She sees humanity as one family where each one must support the other and considers poets as a voice for truth in pursuit of equality and proper stewardship of nature despite the hindrances of distorted information and traditions.
