See the beauty


After Isaiah 40:6-8

See the beauty
of the fields of flowers
carpeting color to the horizon,
the groves of trees thrusting
green upward, sentinels

we are the grass
we are the flowers of the field
we are the thrusting trees

we fail and wither
we pale and weaken
as the breath blows upon us
flowers brown,
green pales and whitens

only one thing lasts
only one
a word
the word
and the word was with
and the word was
