Hymns in the Wind by Pablo Gonzaga

I heard your hymns in the wind

A call to arms I must answer

through the seasons 

your colors refract love and sustain life

I heard your song Great Lake - Life-Giver

I will sing it with you

~

Eu ouvi seus hinos no vento

Um grito de guerra que devo responder

suas cores refratam o amor e sustem a vida

Eu ouvi sua canção, Grande Lago - Doador de Vida

Eu cantarei com você

 

Note from the poet: The Great Salt Lake is the first natural wonder I saw up close when I moved to Utah in 1997. The lake appeared to be a loner, much like me. The lake opened up the more I worked on listening, and it has a lot to say. In 25 years of friendship, I’m doing my best to be there for the lake, listen, and sing with it. 

This verse is part of irreplaceable, a collective prayer of praise calling for the restoration of Great Salt Lake.
