A Walk In the Park
On my daily evening walk in the park, I pause to see
Beautiful squirrels and grotesque rats together feed
With neither pride nor prejudice, sharing and caring
It is clear to me that they live by need and not greed
The adjectives I assigned to outer forms I so beheld
Reflects my narrow, unevolved and judgmental view
Oh, woe on me that as yet I see not God in each form
Why on earth does my heart as yet such toxicity spew
Moving on I am captivated by a koel’s melodious song
She minds not an interruption by a crow’s jarring caw
Atop the same tree, in joy and harmony, both coexist
With no anchor for rancour, they understood God’s law
A sunbird constructs her nest patiently, straw by straw
She fears not fierce predators that around her abound
Although she’s so tiny and fragile, in God’s grace trusts
Oh, where within my fickle heart can such faith be found
