The plants and I
study the sky
hoping, thinking: Rain
Seeing naught but blue
from north to south
east to west and
high as eye can see
study the sky
hoping, thinking: Rain
Seeing naught but blue
from north to south
east to west and
high as eye can see
Not today
the message says
will rain, gentle rain
give drink to plants and me
we’ll have to wait
The timings not ours
we control it not
in any way or form
it’s but our lot
to watch
to wait
to know
His eye is on the sparrow
I know He watches me
to see what I will do
how I will act responding
to challenges built, created ‘in’
the world that does surround us
Study there
reveals a plan
created beauty and complexity
discovery unlimited in creation
limited only by my and our uncovering
We build a dam
and send the water
to flood the fields and grow
plants in deserts
food abundant
We study all the plants
and codify, modify,
bend to our current purpose
We fertilize, we chemical
we fan the genes to marvel
what we’ve ‘created’
(really discover)
only to come back

To watch the sky
my plants and I

thinking
rain
