The Joy of Being




Another ending
Another beginning
God everywhere manifesting
Nightshadows retreating
A red sun rising
Owl and bat in hiding
The still lake reflecting
Hungry trout jumping
Colorful songbirds singing
Jagged pine trees swaying
Flowers opening and blooming
Yellow grasses waving
Herds of antelope running
Keen-eyed hawks circling
Tawny coyotes stalking
Spotted deer fawns leaping
Fierce winds blowing
Plant stalks bending
Storm clouds gathering
Grazing buffalo huddling
Torrents of rain falling
Forked lighting striking
Angry thunder booming
Thirsty land drinking
Everything wet and dripping
Cloud bank now breaking
Promised rainbow forming
Shafts of sunlight beaming
Damp rocks drying
Swollen river rushing
Restless creatures stirring
Clear sky darkening
The sun now setting
Behind great mountains looming
Nightshadows returning
Millions of stars appearing
Time for hunting and killing
In the dark deepening
Sacred blood spilling
Wolf packs howling
Black panthers screaming
Full white moon glowing
Silver lake glittering
The campfire flames dancing
An old man is storytelling
To wide-eyed children smiling
While the poet goes on writing
With words hopefully befitting
The wonder of things living
And the miraculous joy of being.
