exchanging secrets
with mountains,
older than time.
birds speak,
and honor the sky,
waiting, arms outstretched,
for flight….
rivers sing,
while the big cats pray,
the great herds stroke
the earth with hooves.
fishes gather,
flow with the water….
sunlight bathes,
rain washes away.
and the gift of gifts,
the air we breathe,
pure, full of being,
from time unto time!
