Evergreen
Ever refreshing to my being
As the dew that fell on Hermon
Bringing new life to the seared psyche
of this particular earthly vermin
Designed to be made in your image
I regularly miss the mark
Treating this momentous opportunity
as little more than a lark
What is your favorite color? It seems it might be green.
All encompassing springing to life
In scene after scene after scene
I have wasted what you graciously offered
I see this clearly now with aged eyes
To know you and to love you an unfolding
Eternal surprise
Caught up in the minutia of being
I allowed myself to lose sight
With the time that remains me take these scales
From my eyes relieve me please of this plight
Evergreen life giving you have always
been and always you will be
Bring life anew to these dried bones
to rejoice for all seeing to see
Thank you for allowing this audience with you
YOU who made all things
Strike each day my hearts chord
undampered by me fully ring
