The Gratitude of Nature--By Vincent Van Ross--India

The Gratitude of Nature

The scorching Sun evaporates

Water from the waves of the gurgling river

The river meanders through gorges

And, dances through mountain slopes

The haze goes up in smoke

And shoots its way into the sky

The clouds celebrate the journey of water

From the earth to the sky

With thunder and lightning

They rain their gratitude and blessings
