Why Not Delight In the Day?
Yet as mighty, pregnant sky,
mothers her clouds, they come to cry.
A lifetime of wonder is sprinkled abroad
across the sky and in the sod,
because the very sprinklings of God,
and bursting forth thereafter soon
beneath June’s ever watchful moon
for all the hearts on earth to hug
spring flowers that shield free-wandering bugs!
As cumbersome, heavy, constant earth
fathers the nematodes churning the soil
delight in the day, for all its worth
and while your passions boil,
love all that you can from birth
in ways that will not spoil!
Delight in the day because you can
for all of the chances that run,
from farthest East to West for Man
are precious whenever they come!
A countless hoard of gatherings
in swarming teams and groups
have huddled all together to
explain to me and you
there are unending pathways and
are limitless avenues
the human mind and heart and soul
can take to love all views.
Delight in the dawn and dusk and whole
of all there is to love by you!
(Besides, it sure beats complaining.)
