Nature's Stage
How does the sun make the river dance
as it travels on its way?
How does the moon keep changing shape
on a schedule done to a day?
How do the stars remember their place
as they come on stage each night
And how can the clouds act as a curtain
coming down on this beautiful sight?
How does the wind remain from sight
yet let its presence be known?
How wondrous the dramatic-works of nature
that, daily, we are shown.
