Climate Change
 
A family of desert flowers,
Survival guaranteed-we are nothing
If not sturdy,
Trained up in unending sun and sand,
Where no waves bring
Conciliatory tide.
We espouse so-called "pragmatics".
What of thriving-have I always wondered.
In my reach through middle years,
I seem the closest to that objective,
Via hard-proven trust,
Gentler hands have tended.
 
Sudden now intrudes shock and sorrow,
Hurricanic gusts, deluge clouds
Move inexorably slow.
Can this arid region--
Stolid as Dickinson's bee--
Now absorb a rain? 
 
Land mass metamorphosing .
We must respond in kind.
We support pragmatics,
Each-the old, the younger,
Learning . instructing . by turns.
Sounding necessary echoes
Meant for navigation .
 
Tears are good,
We just begin to apprehend:
Nourishment for fruits to come.
Hearts more open than before,
We master recitative.
Is it too late for me
to so yield my spastic will
Into long-foregone  release?
 
 
 
The Merriam/Webster dictionary defines recitative as:
a rhythmically free vocal style that imitates the natural inflections of
speech and that is used for dialogue and narrative in operas and oratorios

In my study I can lay my hand on the Bible in the pitch dark. All truly
inspired ideas come from God. The powers from which all truly great
composers like Mozart, Schubert, Bach and Beethoven drew their inspirations
is the same power that enabled Jesus to do his miracles.
Johannes Brahms
