weather_or_not
thy rain or shine 110830
...
thy the blue sky is bright
absolute sun shining
the face of the light
illuminates glimmering
brightness shimmering

and all that is
is all that is right

i watch
clouds meandering
birds philandering
green grass is flowing
berries and flowers growing

i drink
from a cold fresh stream
slaking my thirty thirst
then relaxing, daydreaming
of odd and fantastic things

i eat
of what the valley provides
satisfy a hungery hunger
then resting, sleepdreaming
of strange and wonderful things

i sit
as the daystar sets
and as the light fades
the birds song turns
to the crickets chirp

i ponder
as a deep stillness
sets over the valley
a telling quiet calmness
so unsure but yet quite sure

i stare
blind in the dark night
and i become aware
of stars and moonlight
my eyes slowly adjust

i see
the clouds form again
but darker now, fuller
in a quick moment
calm turns to a downpour

the black sky is wet
absolute rain cleansing
the hands that are washing
precipitates glimmering
wetness shimmering

and all that is
is all that is right

i think
without this
it would all turn
to dust
dirty dry dust

i build
light a small fire
in a safe dry place
then run out into
the rain anyway

i dance
of light and of hope
carefully and carefree
because all that i have
is all i need, a simple decree

i have myself
i have food
i have water
i have warmth
i have shelter
this is all i need

the sun grows
the rain grows
the moon grows
the soil grows
the fire grows
the self grows

and all that is right
is all that is right
