right now
mustangs roam the open wild
and fruit bats rest in mango trees
vultures soar on thermals high
and cave shrimp do what cave shrimp do
right now
rivers roll with snowmelt to the sea
and dust whirls up around the steps of pachyderms
lightning crackles on the plains
and polar ice sighs in the night
right now
dreams stir sleepers with their imagery
and love is lost and found and made anew
inspiration knocks on doors to find a home
in this great flux and thriving,
the Beautiful Mystery lives on!
