Rain Puddle

Rain puddle rain puddle how do you do

The water is old but the puddle is new

Finding yourself in front of my door

Gathered so deep as rain starts to pour

Rain puddle rain puddle I'm watching you grow

what do you see, what do you know

You once where so high, floating so free

now on the ground you're just looking at me

Rain puddle, rain puddle what will you do

when the feet of the children are splashing through you

You reflect the image that shines on the surface

and then you ripple with meaningful purpose

Rain puddle rain puddle where will you go

You splish like a champ and splash like a pro

Will you be here after this stormy day

The sun and the soil will take you away

Earth Poem

Sky Above The Earth

 

Sky above the Earth

Your colors always changing

The clouds you hold so near

In formations rearranging

The light that feeds the Earth

You lead it down to nourish

Awaiting on the ground

The plants it helps to flourish

Sky above the Earth

You meet the Sun each day

You carry it across yourself

And lead it on its way

The stars that you display

When the Moon is in its place

Shine and give me wonder

They're like freckles on your face

Sky above the Earth

Your anger is astounding

The darkness of your clouds

The lightning so resounding

You're sometimes filled with snow

Other times with rain

You rage upon the oceans

With a mighty hurricane

But when your mood is pleasant

Nature's creatures sing your praise

The gentle winds you usher in

You give us happy days

Sky above the Earth

The birds are in your care

Their flocks feel your presence

 As you guide them through the air

Your face is ever changing

The seasons show your moods

People live and die

By your shifting attitudes

Sky above the Earth

The mountains touch your feet

Your clouds give them rivers

Springing forth majestic trees

At the end of day

The colors spread across you

Red to Orange to Purple

To your ever loving Blue

Mystery Earth

Mystery Earth, what do you know?

Can you tell me how plants grow?

The sunlight falls feeding you light.

The Moon follows you every night. 

Mystery Earth, what are you hiding?

Deep in your core with the magma residing

The blood of your veins and its smoldering heat

Pouring out islands and tropic retreats

Mystery Earth your nature unyielding

To all who will listen, your secrets revealing

The whispering wind and the babbling brook

Displaying their wisdom for those who will look

Mystery Earth the mountains and valleys,

Plains and desert and oceans all rally

Behind your might and your beckoning call

Through Winter and Spring and Summer and Fall

Mystery Earth I feel you around me

Refreshing me, nature vibrations astounding

Filling the land with replenishing love

From the ocean abyss to the clouds up above

Nature's Calling Me

Have you heard the call of nature

Does it whisper in your ear

Can you feel the urge to learn her truth

Does it beckon you come near

Mindful of the rivers birth

Where the mountains meet the snow

It gives you rest, it fills your being

It fills your heart, and helps you grow

Do you long to find some meaning

in a world that hides inside

Oh, to be among the trees

Where the birds and deer reside

Let us drink from her wisdom

Nature teaches can't you see

She gives us strength and nourishment

Mother Nature sets us free
