Everywhere the cosmos are appearing,
after the days of soaking spring rain,
the entire veldt is like Eden again.
To me this time of year is endearing

I had been for your last words
on separation unprepared,
where your decisions do affect the future,
with pain in my life is realized,

another day of dirty earthly toil,
I do earnestly pray for Your blessing
and water on the red-brown fertile soil,

solitary it sits high in the acacia-thorn,
watches the other birds frolic in the firs
while another new god-given day is born.

with just water covering everything,
with no other kind of colour or light

that you and I looked at the rising sun
and there was no movement on the street.

Today I do stand in the greatest awe
of technology of power, fuel and steam,
wonder if a person can of myths dream?
I do comparisons with other ages draw,
...
The most inner part of my broken heart
recall your liveliness and loveliness,
your grace and the lovely smile on your face,
radiance breaking through as happiness grew
...
