What we see as nouns <br />are verbs to God… <br /> <br />see the water in this glass – <br />clear and still; <br /> <br />taste the water in this glass – <br />its sweet taste with no taste.. <br /> <br />watch the Spring rain; <br />smell the earth give thanks <br /> <br />see the washing blowing on the line <br />smelling happy to be clean <br /> <br />see the mighty river, fierce <br />to reach the sea <br /> <br />watch the evening sea-fog roll in over the bay; <br />see the city washed afresh in the morning sun; <br /> <br />look up to the glorious theatre of clouds, <br />obeying water’s laws for all to watch; <br /> <br />know what mercy is; how it descends – appears, <br />as the gentle rain from heaven within; <br /> <br />what we see as nouns <br />are verbs to God<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-we-see-as/
