Yet As I Live

by FIo Fleury

the day is silent

I catch no drop of reassuring rains

from soundless temporal skies

yet as I live

He also Lives

the earth may be barren

treeless

empty in silence

but as long as I live

the capacity to love

and the potential to become

like Him

I can do my best

to grow a little greenness

to cultivate a few faint notes

that may perhaps become

a song of humble praises

unto Him
