Life-Giving Cycle
A lonely, dry plain
 Waits as far, far away
 The sun boils the
 Oceans,
 Lakes,
 Rivers,
 And vapor rises into the
 Heart of the sky.
 Gathering together and growing
 And growing until
 The blessed water cloud is born.
 And still it keeps growing,
 Heavier and heavier until
 Finally
 The barrier is broken and
 Water pours down upon
 The dying grass.
 What joy it is
 To see the green return,
 To have that feeling of
 Soft grass beneath your feet,
 And race through the blades,
 Flowers,
 Clovers,
 And the bursting feeling of
 Free.
 Free!
 Free!
 That is at once
 Overwhelming and
 Liberating.
 And then to just sit.
 Sit and breathe and revel
 In the freedom,
 The joy–
 In the hopeful belief that
 The cycle will begin again
