let us sing praises

let us sing praises

there i stood

my face turned up to the Heavens

eyes closed

absorbing the energy

of life

the mists of the light rain

was caressing my cheeks

my forehead

my lips

my consciousness

to awaken

while telling their stories

they had visited

many places

in the cycles of their lives

some the Black Sea

some the Rivers, Brooks and Streams

some the Azure Waters

across this wonderful world

some were at one time tears

that expelled the fears

of living

from many a soul

they told of the Brotherhood of the Clouds

and how they teasingly play together

during the Calms

during the Storms

to awaken our imaginations

forming shapes of wonder

for those who remember

that we are but still yet children

and as always

it is at these times

i can not help but smile

from my deepest recessed self

to the outer world

oh the glory of life

and the stories they told

and i listened

as they glistened upon my countenance

only to return

from whence they came

the all-ness of all things

let us sing praises
