the thunderous rain upon rooftops
the cresting waves of the sea
the brooks, streams and rivers
known within they be
the warming passion of the sun
the flowers in blooming frivolity
the winds that whisper secrets
known within they be
the earth that holds to will
the mountains that call to me
the plains and valleys in offerings of grace
known within they be
the sunrise, the sunset.
time an ever present decree
the clouds, the storms, the quakes
known within they be
the call, the beckoning, the quest defined
the vision, the light, the promise to see
the past, the present, ever the NOW
known within they be.
