The World's Grace

Listen to the thunder,

hear the steady beat of the drum.

Watch the lightning,

as it dances across the ebony sky.

Advise the warnings of the rain,

they are wise, much wiser than I.

See the trees sway,

in the cool, crisp breeze,

as though they were praying.


The flowers will thank you

for your kindness.

They can sense emotion

through the Earth's vibrations.

All the bugs will

soon come out to play,

for they love a moistened stage.


Little kids will splash

in the crystal muddy waters.

Moms and dads will fight

uselessly against the games.


I will be smiling,

maybe singing.

Rain helps me think,

it led to this piece.


When it's all over

the sun will shine yet again

inviting birds to chirp

and butterflies to cloud the skies.


And this is our fabulous world,

it's nice to know we haven't

destroyed everything that once was.
