STILL A LOT TO LEARN

 

 

 

“I am the smartest, most powerful being in the Universe!” the human said. 

“For I have the most developed brain.”

The Universe chuckled at the human’s arrogance, 

“If you are so powerful” she said, “then make it rain.”

 

“Make the sun rise, direct the wind, 

create a moonbeam, a snowfall...a whale,

guide the tides across the ocean

sing like the nightingale.”

 

“Create a rainbow across the sky…

change daytime into night…

tell a flower when to bLoom…

spread your arms…take flight.”

 

“Cause the leaves to change their colors

make a star from the heavens fall…

paint a sunset…make it thunder

create a waterfall

 

The Universe smiled then touched the shoulder of the human

She was compassionate yet stern.

“It’s true you may be smart,” she said.

“but you still have a lot to learn.”
