Grateful I Am

the waters brisk the temperature is down
calmly flowing through changing land
branches exposed like a open palmed hand
gratefull for the change i am
the ground is covered the green has passed
white emerges it covers every trace of seasons past
frozen raindrops fall from the sky in a dance
flirting with the air, falling with a glance
Performing

perform for me, World! do a trick
show me the covered sky with clouds so thick
I want to see the rain fall, I want to see a tree grow tall
perform for me one of your marvels
show me hail bigger than marbles
show me the sun behind the moon, let it be dark at noon
I would like to see the wind blowing a blast
show me a wave crash then crash then crash
against the sand
perform for me the shaping of land
make me a mountain with your entangled plates
let the stars awake early and the sun stay late
perform for me a rainbow and a tornado, too
show me the sky orange with sunset no longer blue
I want to see what you can do
