His Mighty

He is the sound of a waterdrop 
A waterdrop off a leaf into a pond
He keeps monkeys and trees, bond
And works zebras for donkeys

He sprinkles scent on flowers 
And enchants buffaloes for mowers
He spells vultures for brooms 
And grows green mushrooms

He is the orchestral breeze through
oak yards, cutinizing wood hard
He sounds crunching branches
And dances to antelope munches

He tinges ladybirds and clothes lady ferns 
He incubates, hatches ants' eggs
Some say he talks to figs
Making branches dance in jigs

He is the supple sound across 
woods, blessing mania to 'Croods' 
He escorts lizards into the sun
And orders blizzards to fun

He sleeps with moths under logs 
And helps lily pads hold frogs
He's the soprano in sparrow melodies
And plunges Farewell-to-spring in maroon dyes

He sings 'twinkle-twinkle-little star' with fireflies
In their glow, his fire lies
He ties beauty to backs with lianas
And tickles hyenas

He offers sofa, roots and drops fruits 
Hunters say he slows down gazelles
He hunts with lions and 
Picks which lion gives the killer bite

He sharpens the claw of mongoose 
And floats away goose 
An old woman saw him fly with bees 
Helping them choose a log for a hive

He tilts shoots towards the east
Hikers say he's the red in the sunset
He summons birds back to the nest.
In his shade, life finds everest 
He is the shadow of the forest
