Grasses, flowers, and trees
are shouting.
Mountains and rivers
Are speaking.
Birds and butterflies
Are pointing .
Foxes, moles, and snakes
Are demonstrating.
Dragons and dolphins
Are inviting .
The sun and moon, in turn
Keep us company.
The snow and rain, each
Participate.
These feet, this breath
Always close.
This very air and space
Cannot help but be perfect.
Sounds of birds, scent of flowers
Children laughing and dogs barking,
How can anything be difficult?
