If the soft spring rain could speak
It would affirm its kindness and loving intention
Of washing away pain, sorrow and hurt
And purging our lives from the dust of pain
Be as the rain
If this gentle summer wind could speak
It would declare its love for you and I
As it softly wraps itself like a blanket
Of safety, around our bodies and souls
Be as the wind
If these majestic trees could speak
They would whisper of their concern for each of us
Purifying the earth with their healing energy
Breathing life and love, modestly, gracefully, silently
Be as the forest
If this blue, wintery sky could speak
It would tenderly assure us of its continued presence
On stormy days, deceivingly dark but
Returning again, gleaming with its vast beauty
Be as the sky
If this ancient sun could speak
It would pledge its profound loyalty
To beam down upon us, with its warm radiance
Never expecting anything in return
Be as the sun
We are all one, intimately connected, inseparable
We can light the flame of love, one heart at a time
For our loved ones, for our children, for the future
Tiny little blazes of love, asking for nothing in return
You are light. You are love.
