I look up today as I did yesterday;
the promise of rain has gone far away
in search of a land where mankind avows
seeds of true love have died in the ground.

But it’s love when I feel a stirring within
arise from the depths of my worldly sin
and shoot past the pain of long ago days
packed solidly round the base of dismay.

I look up today as I did yesterday
calmed by the sight of unhindered terrain
that instinctively knows how to satisfy needs
and bring to fruition a bud from a seed.

And as I send up my wish for release
I see how it fragments from its centerpiece
and spreads evenly between realities
like a hug for a child, a kiss for the weak.

I look up today as I did yesterday
but I don’t expect rain to fall here today
for way over there, somewhere over there,
so many more seeds lie thirsty and bare.

But a shower, a drop, a promise for me,
to help me believe my seeds will receive!
