The Calling

~Deana J. Tavares

I’m here 

To bear witness 

To how

The cloud touches 

The sky 

To how 

It dips into 

Still waters

Then gently 

Ripples by 

I’m here

To tell

Of the daylights break

A million pieces

Between the leaves 

Beauty 

That steals 

Your heart away 

Natures gentle thieves

To remind 

The ones 

Who have forgotten 

Their sight 

The ones 

Who have closed 

Their ears 

No longer hearing 

The whispering winds 

Telling them 

Not to fear

I’m here
