Nature's Victory
So close I can feel the thunder,
the clouds so close they touch my hands.
East sun rising and bidding farewell
to the moon gently fading to end...
I climb into this world,
born into its majesty,
and seeing has weaved itself into believing
as I watch the storm roll by.
One more powerful shout
from the gods, I pray.
One more moment in heaven's bosom;
this hour must not bleed away.
Sweet colors have passed,
their gradient of blue to red,
and the world must be new today—
Nature's victory is at hand...
