Within my mind the windows of meaning
Open wide—to the day I sought—
And I look out to see what Life has made:
No useful idea too deep
Or hidden to understand,
No useful idea too lofty
Or too high,
No useful idea as would carry
An overbearing burden!
A useful idea is to unfold,
No matter how long it may take...
Who does not know the endless arguments?
It is better to do nothing contrary to ones’
Highest sense of good!
I will be ready for the winds,
They will blow, be merciless!
From the sea will come a mighty rain
And wash the earth clean of the dust
And soak the dry, thirsty ground!
The herb-bearing seeds will grow
And grow— fruit as the flowers!
Behold! The trees
Will cover the face of the earth—
How pleasant
And satisfying to our sight!
Is that just my poetic nature speaking?
Inspired by the Book of Genesis
