Have you noticed the blessings upon the earth?
Let me take you on a search--
Lush green grasses in the fields,
Lofty mountains and mighty rivers he yields.
Seeds germinate and grow fine stalks,
Buds pollinate now flowers across.

Do elephants get bored and pull each other’s tails?
Elephants show emotion and bestow great devotion.
The greatest of the beast,
Frightening to the new seen, frightening in the least.
Elephants live in herds,
Family life undisturbed.

Proverbs and parables,
Food for intellectual thought.
Exercises for the human mind,
Grows wisdom, like seed to stalk.
To understand a proverb,
And its interpretation,
Call upon all your knowledge,
And think what’s it saying.

Earthly wants and heavenly needs,
Set your mind on heavenly things.
Things on earth rust does corrupt,
Lay yourself treasures for use up above.
Eternal measures none can pollute,
Neither moth nor mold can then reduce.

Pull your weeds and plant fruitful seeds.
They sprout trees and beautiful Things.
Goods that produce useful means.
Can't never did, no good deeds.
Use compassion and understanding.
Be upstanding and give without asking.
Help those in need.

And inhabit the garden you made for me, for eternity.

Blessings come to us by asking through prayer.
A solemn request, our expressions we share.
An earnest appreciation through meaningful communication.
Communication with our Lord, oft aware.
Turn you ear to me, hear my prayer.

Go ahead and cry to the gods you have chosen.
Let them save you when you are broken.
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose,
Cast from wood and bronze, stone and gold.
Does one worship idols today?
An ancient thing we take as play.

Like the rain that falls on the windowsill, on a brisk cool day as the wind blows through, I hear
the drip, drip, drip and then a light tap, tap that makes me run to the door and answer for you.
I want to be with you.

The drawer of pieces, the has-been bin.
The drawer full of all your odds and ends.
Sometimes a whatnot or a thingamajig,
Parts left over from last year’s gig.
A knickknack, a battery pack,
A doodad, or a do that.

The intercession of the intercessors,
The guilty ones into Hell like thirsty aggressors,
Intervening on behalf of one and the other,
Frightened as from the lion to the inferno you muster.
No intercessor to save you after His leave,

We close our eyes when we dream
because the most beautiful things
in life are not seen--to wake up

A mix of things that just don’t belong.
Oxymorons; things that are just plain wrong.
Awfully good examples, examine the samples.
Like an ordinary miracle or a righteous sin,
What about ill health, old news, or a living end?

The Shaitans who whisper into the hearts of men.
Devils taken as gods from among the Jinn.
Inciting humans to loss and sin.
Deceiving men to an evil end.
God says he will fill the bounds of Hell,
With disbelieving men and evil Jinn.

You got that right; you got the meaning!

Hopelessness and helplessness,
Sickness of the Soul.
Unhealthy mindedness effecting young and old.
Warm a broth of tenderness,

All brewed up in a bowl.

Some things happen for a reason,
Others just come with the season.
We all make choices that change our course, showers fall, spoil expectations.
But there's always a blue sky, a sunny day, after the cleansing rain, only beautiful things remain.
