All the world turns green in your blue presence.
Trees bend down to you, their buds unfold,
flowers scatter their pollen, fruits sweeten
without ripening, seeds suddenly burst
with animate life, grass and shrubs
crane their stems to kiss even just your knees,
moss wraps around stone, vines creep over concrete,
roots strain against mortar, roads break apart,
buildings collapse, steel rusts to earth,
glass grinds to sand, dead wood dissolves to slime,
cities fall silent, the teeth of grazers
fall from their mouths while predators fall asleep,
and nights become as peaceful as the day
the Lord had separated dark from light.
But what more would grace nature should you turn
from cool azure to warm gold with a smile!
