Nature has a way of reminding –
even the most diehard nonbelievers –
that a force, inexplicable and sacred, exists
Like an unseasonal storm unleashing hail
waking us from a deep slumber –
she is a messenger, knocking
The soul answers, child reawakened,
joyous recognition that despite all
theories, doctrines, and delusions
There exists a life within a life:
a great mystery that defies
and keeps us ever humble.
