Words

In the beginning was the word.
I uttered many words. They rose to the sky,
Took the shape of clouds, and started raining.
From today, I promise to utter better words.

I closed my eyes and said: People are in place and things are in order.
I opened my eyes to find that people are in place and things are in order.

Peace be on earth.
God, let the sun shine every day.
Let there be mornings and evenings.
Let the mornings be mixed with fresh fog and mist.

Let the plants grow,
Let there be a rainbow and butterflies and flowers
Let the ponds be filled with fishes,
Let the King’s godown be filled with grains
Let the people I know be happy, and the people I don’t know be happy.
Let there be health, wealth and happiness for all.
Bless the world with riches.
And make us innocent again.

My words rose to the sky
Took the shape of clouds and started raining.
It is harvesting time.
