We measure the benefit of nourishment

by a certain gauge, that indicator of wealth,

a manner of delight in our achievement

toward all facets of maintaining good health.

Yet, no dollar figure can be placed on time,

the value of life given sweet nutrients

that manna from heaven in prayer sublime,

hearts vulnerable sing humanitarian events.

While the ethereal nature of life gather energy

speak in kind form our need to recognize

our lives dependent upon a sweet shared synergy

when out of the sky falls a cleansing wise.

We climbed a dusty and dry summit of reality

to feel the rain, the rains of love’s civility.
