Gratefully Supplied

"As water drops on the thirsty ground,
the dry soil slowly drinks in its supply
rain clouds give up heavy droplets..
like diamonds falling from nthe sky
The earth aniticipates its meal -
the clouds happy for the release.

O thirsty ground groans and melts
beneath its heavenly supply
water, sweet sustenance soaks
down to fin awaiting roots

Beneath its hidden soil
roots become alive at the touch
of wet soil
rejuvenation - hungry roots soak
in moisture like a straw
up flows the sustenance, water, life revived

up to the flowering plant
gazing at her provider
up rises weary stalks
straight and strong

sweet fragrance is the grateful gift she leaves
like throwing kisses in the air
flower extends thanks, gratitude
supply...receiving...strengthening..gratefulness"
