RIVER CROSSING, TOO

The tiger knew the river well
And headed for its peace,
Away from heat as hot as Hell,
For mercy and release...
Where waters flowed as pure as milk
Beneath a waterfall,
As silvered bubbles soft as silk
Brought joy to one and all...

Oh, tiger, tiger, let it be,
To savour what there is,
Amid that certain ecstacy
That promises such bliss...
And let the tensions melt away
Like muscles stretched out wide,
Such that you look back on today
With tenderness inside...

While you are grandiose indeed,
The largest cat alive,
Admit that even you must need
A place you can arrive
Where birds are singing in the trees,
Beneath a sky so blue
And there's a wondrous gentle breeze,
God's Shangri-La for you...

NUTHATCH ON A BRANCH

The Nuthatch seems a genteel thing,
Just draped in softened blue
And short of stature, tail and wing,
Not bright and bold and new...
Just plain in thought and word and deed,
A humble so-and-so,
With not much planned except to feed,
Fly free... to come and go...

The moon, to him, is just a light,
No need to visit there,
The stars are merely shining bright,
No need for him to care...
He wants no school, no job, no house,
No fancy car outside,
He merely takes what God allows,
Whatever food's supplied...

The Nuthatch chirps his mellow song,
Without the need for words,
Without the need to right each wrong,
He suffers little hurts...
But I'm a man, so God wants more,
Great gifts have been bestowed,
So great are these I can't ignore
The debt to Him that's owed...

BUZZARD ON A BRANCH

A buzzard on a branch looked round
Because he heard a noise
And though I hadn't made that sound,
He looked at me by choice...
And so we stared, no movements made,
As if within a spell,
With both hearts beating unafraid,
No thought to bid farewell...

A buzzard isn't much to see,
Brown wings, face, claws and beak,
So not much of a mystery,
Not highly-prized to seek...
Yet I knew well that buzzards fly,
A thing that I can't do...
And when us humans question why,
We're jealous through and through...

Perhaps that's why I sighed that day,
Though he knew nought of this,
God chose our gifts a certain way,
That's why some gifts we miss...
The buzzard turned and flew above,
To leave me far behind..
To question, were my gifts enough,
Still playing on my mind...

WORLD WILDLIFE

World wildlife that we see today
Will not always remain,
We will not see God's dolphins play
With oceans on the wane...
The whales exist for now at least,
For they prove big and strong
And though they roam from west to east,
I wonder for how long...

Like tigers that can roar aloud,
Defiant to the end,
The elephants stand tall and proud,
On that you can depend...
Consider the end of the age,
For something's got to give,
But of Mankind, who shouts with rage,
As this world fights to live?

The birds of Paradise still fly,
Macaws and vultures, too,
The owls can soar across the sky
Just like the eagles do...
The humming birds and peacocks share
Contentment day by day,
Yet polar bears and penguins stare
At ice that melts away...

THIRST QUENCHER THANKSGIVING

I saw parched zebras on the move
Beneath the midday sun
And knew each drink would help to soothe
The throats of every one...
The young and fit, the old and weak,
The foolish and the wise,
Yet in such thirst no soul's unique,
Just find what God supplies...

The water may be near or far,
Yet only time will tell,
Survival's like a guiding star,
Just like a wishing well...
Without good luck for such as these,
How long could each stay strong?
That's why the zebras felt unease,
The signal something's wrong...

And yet today's their lucky day,
Their journey meets reward,
Yet zebras know not how to pray,
So they can't praise the Lord...
Yet we're all human through and through,
With hearts that learn to love,
So let us pray, 'Lord, we thank You,
For blessings from above...'
