the only One

Twin Rocks

in the Ocean

and Twin Horizons

above It

Radiant Suns

rising and setting

in Rainbows Beyond

our revolving Ball

blue Moons

and shooting Stars

illumining Constellations

of Imagination

Windswept Waves

spraying crashing Cries

to the Great Beyond

Sunsoaked Sands

sending soft Sighs

to the Skies

Majestic Mountains

and colourful Coral

resonating Incantations

and reverberating Revelations 

beached and bleached

sea lions and whales

enriching the Soil

while deepening the Silence

twice-clamouring cicadas

and thrice-rattling snakes 

raucous roosters

and cacophonous chickens 

converging with the surging

of squawking saxophones

and wailing guitars

throbbing basses

and rumbling drums

giggling voices

and wiggling torsos

all wriggling wishes

for distant Dreams

all raising 

their Restorative

and Redemptive Racket

to the Cosmos

all praising

the Cosmic Creator

in the primal Way

the only Prayer

we need to pray

the only One

that wafts naturally

up from Nature

and Nurture

and over the thrashing

tides of tumult

and terror

Supernaturally Transcends

the only One

that matters

through all trials

and smiles

and tears

and years

in the beginnings

in the middles

in the ends...

Thank...

You.
