Notes About The Poem

Transformation

In dizzying rounds rain goes up and down; 
see the heat of the day steamroll the lawn.
Mist ascends; then back again, dew rebounds;
to bathe the leaves, kiss the breeze, rain fawns.
A lawn moss green down by the stream at dawn 

is frosted with a sprite haze of frail fog.
Born of goosebump nights are damp morns,
where water falls translucent in the bog.
With a sizzling sound the rain dropped adorns  
the lilies in the bog on rheumy morns.

On mountains high the rain falls white disguised 
as snow; sun turns snow to ice, down it goes.
In dizzy rounds rain pounds, the sun complies  
and all this a high power has composed.
Water disguised is a gift that God's composed.
