Uncovered and Awakened
Beautiful formed creation
Natural and pure at its beginning
Uncovered and awakened from sleeping under the blanket of darkness
The warmth of the sun rises over the mountains and hill tops
Caressing them to life with the gentle kiss of the wind
The wind blows across the valley through the bushes and grass
causing the motionless statue to sway to its soft music
Warmth of the sun
Gentle rain
Gentle breeze
Awaken the maple tree from its dark cold sleep
nurturing it to erect toward the sky in its strength
In its prosperity ooze the sweet maple sap that is craved.
Warm of the sun
Gentle rain
Gentle breeze
cascading through the canon
Awaken the deep fountains of life from their dark cold sleep
stimulating them to gush into living streams that the salmon swim up to spawn .
Beautiful formed creation
Natural and pure at its beginning
Uncovered and awakened from sleeping under the blanket of darkness
