Communication

The tree says "look at me,

I am beautiful and bountiful

I want to be seen,

I bring inspiration for you - for us!

I'm here to give and get,

I want communication:

With divine sanction

God gave me appreciation."

The dog says - eyes askance

"My major response

Is that I trust or I don't!

I'm smart as a dog can be,

My mind and my heart - you bet!

Do function appropriately

I want to give, I want to get

The immortal warmth of love

With divine sanction

God gave me appreciaton."

The child says, "I want to know,

I need to know - wrap me in silk,

Feed me with curiousity and milk:

There's bigness all around me,

Show me the beauty

Or I will not see!

My soul is trapped physically

In my small body.

But I can feel

The distance of the star,

It is not too far.

With divine sanction

God gave me appreciation.

What is this thing called life

Without the gumption of communication?

A new-born babe can tell

It is a universal need

Mental and physical,

Designed for restoration,

Communication!

Without it - feelings become lead,

Without it - all is dead.
