I walk in your world
a mercy, a healing -
Like a cooper of barrels
you bind the mountains with ribbing
your hand rests on rambunctious seas
they grow peaceful
the brow of a sleeping child
Autumn is a king's progress
largesse lies ripe on the land
up, down the furrow your midas touch
rains gold;
rainbows are from your glance
Fall of rain, evenfall, all all is blessing!
Daniel Berrigan from the book Earth Prayers From around the World: 365 Prayers, Poems, and Invocations for Honoring the Earth
