On Earth, They Flourish
On Earth, They Flourish
A butterfly darts here and there
A bee crawls on the yarrow
A slug leaves his trail on the sidewalk
A bullfrog croaks in Fiddle Creek
Arrowleaf Balsamroot bloom all spring
on the sunny slopes outside of town
Mule deer eat my flowers
A rabbit darts across our path into the rabbitbrush
A coyote pauses, then disappears into the sagebrush
The deep swoosh of the breeze sings
in the Ponderosa pine forest
A chickadee chatters and squirrel answers
A chipmunk dashes across the fallen log
And above all, cumulous clouds bump together, darkening, growing into cumulonimbus
thunder clouds ready to drench the land
with nourishing rain
so on earth, they flourish.
