Who Put All This Goodness Here?

by Avril Amaya
at times, the beauty was so
overwhelming that all i could
do was watch and cry/
at times, the universe reveled with me
at its own majesty and cried too,
pouring warm rains on my body,/
i hold my face up to the sky
and receive the blessing/
the wind comes in to my ears, and
when i open my mouth, it ventures in there too,
not shy to explore every part of me, making the
grasses next to me dance in/
ecstasy, their little pink flowers are
perfect/
at times, i have to stop and sit on the side of the empty
road, and write of the beauty,
as it drips out of my every pore/
if we could all feel the painful
bliss of being alive with all this
goodness around/
who put all this goodness here?
i would like to thank them./
the sun gives me energy
the rain moves my legs faster
the wind pumps my heart like
a bellows/
the clouds race me and want to play
the earth receives me no matter
what i’m thinking about
unconditional love/
every day is earth day/
the worms, so much
wiser than we,
know this/
blessed be the dancing trees
blessed be the music of the heart
blessed be the wild cats
blessed be the watchful moon
