The garden rejoices with the rain
Nourishment from above and below
As water kisses the terrain
The earth swells and seeds grow
A celebration of life
Sprouting shoots and shrooms
Find their way toward the light
As a flower blooms
Announcing to all in sight
A new era has begun
Day has overcome the night
The long drought is undone
Conditions are ripe and fertile
Change is everywhere
Cracked, dry earth is yielding
To the tears of the beloved
Weeping at the beauty of creation
The miracle that abounds
From infinitesimal particles
To galaxies floating in space
Expanding and contracting
Exploding light and black holes
A moment of alignment
For life as we know it to thrive
This is the time to break our confinement
Our chance to arise, not just survive
To prove that we can evolve
Let’s into this love dance dive
Creating beauty be our resolve
May we embrace diversity
Nature our university
Care for all with loving-kindness
And in all ways heal our blindness
