I know the elemental truth of a sunset
and that purity spills from the light of the moon

I know an older voice rushes through rivers
giving wisdom to fish and turning pebbles to gold.

I know trees in the forest preserve an endless circle
and creatures within it commune with the Earth

I know a mountain casts judgement on all thats beneath it
and its shadow beguiles with the beauty of awe

I know the sea’s deep mystery pulls me under
showing glimpses of a kingdom from before you and I

I know the immeasurable distance of the stars vanish
when we harness energy and put its force with our dreams.

Above all else when things of the human touch leave me unsure
I know of the natural truth that shows me more.
