stars bright
Twinkle
In the nite
Distant
They shine bright in the nite sky

I am Rain

Falling from Above

Blessing the Earth with Showers

And my Love

Wind.
God’s breath can be violent or kind.
With chains you can never bind.

When the Earth’s sunburns aches.
God answers with "rain".
Heaven’s tears washes away pain.

Clipperty clop clipperty clop
went the shire horses hooves
as he pranced with glee

Some folks like to complain
And are very fickle
They fume when rain is falling
And fret at a mere drizzle

Wild birds and animals
They all need the rain
Which gives them water
For their lives to sustain

The plants and the trees
And all the lovely flowers
For them to grow and flourish
They also need the showers

The food crops that are grown
To provide food for us all
Each of them would perish
If the rain did not fall

So please think of these things
Before you start complaining
And creating a lot of fuss
The next time rain is falling

sifted from the clouds it comes with out a sound. It drifts agianst the eaves and scatters the ground. It piles on fence posts and cars and shines like a thousand stars.

angry seas rolling
wave on wave each one larger
swamping the small boat


seagulls circling
harsh cries ring out in the wind
plunging and fighting


sands stretching for miles
seaweed and shells scattered wide
strewn debray everywhere

For several thousands of years
you upheld the sacredness of Nature
avoiding wanton destruction
of plant and animal life
taking only what you needed
since their sacredness was
just as important to you
as the sacredness of humanity

When harvesting wild rice for food
you let some fall into the water
to produce crops for the future
Surrounding a pack of sheep
while hunting in the mountains
you let a male and female escape
so by their reproductive process
they would ensure the continuation
of their species

You saw your self as part of Nature
living in harmony with it
and not plundering it with greed
Your religion was to respect Nature
viewing all plants and animals
as parts of its magnificent fabric
Abuse of a part of it was
an abuse of the whole

Your way of life
provides valuable lessons
that can teach mankind how
to deal with today's ecological crisis
that threatens the survival
of all life on the planet
You were the genuine
Guardian of the environment

Oh what beauty lies below; beyond the darkness is life so few even care to know.

My ear to the ground whispers a faint sound; My heart marvels of what a tiny world below.

For what is from above is the foundation of what is accomplished below.
The life force that nourished us is not from human hands.
But a world of its own nestled below.
