how miraculous
nods the dew-drop
to the yawning
sun
how miraculous
gestures the maple
leaf to the new blue
sky
how miraculous
cuddles the infant
to her mother’s
breast
how miraculous
the horse, the
flower & the
meadow
& the orca
whale & the sea
lions &
seasons
& the deep
deep darkness of the
forest & the perfect
night as black as
silence
& the children
& the children
& the children
all that is
good
all that is
holy
all that is
living
is endangered
by our
grossness
by our
stupidity
by our
power
