WITNESS

Blossoms floating in shallow pools
   Sea grass when tides change
      Arouse the senses
Mystical inclinations
   Thunderbolts
      Relieving tensions
Lightning illuminates
   Falling rain
Hit or miss
   Less or more
Crickets quiet
   Birds at ease

Tomorrow’s dawn
   Worth waiting for
To explore and find
   New miracles
Open blossoms on stems
   Dune grass waving
      Dropping dew
         A graceful dance

We in wonder
   Try our hand
No magic
   Just complimentary
Our heads down
   In thanksgiving and
      Awe
