Echoes ~

I am the one whose praise

echoes on high

I adorn all earth.

I am the breeze

that nurtures all things

green.

I encourage blossoms to flourish with ripening fruits.

I am led by the spirit to feed

the purest streams.

I am the rain

coming from the dew

that causes the grasses to laugh

with the joy of life.

I call forth tears,

the aroma of holy work.

I am the yearning for good.

~Hildegard of Bingen
