The Organic Poet
What do you know? @DrArlettePoland
You only know what you know.
Do you claim to know more?
What do you know, oh moonbeam?
What I know is the moon
I know the moon so well I can imitate
Its existence in light
I do know what I know
Exclaimed the moonbeam
I know what I know
Flatly stated
The dew drop on the flower – so sure of what it knows
I know what I know
I know how to balance here
I know how to accumulate
And rest right here
On this orange and yellow flower
And then I know how to
Join the warmth in the air
After a bit of what you call time
Then I know how to disappear
I know how to gather here
On this scented petal of yellow and orange
And balance just so
Like on a teeter totter moving without falling
Precarious as it might look
I know what I know!
I know what I know
Declared the frog
When I speak frog-talk - I send signals to other frogs
Who also speak frog-talk
When I jump I move across lilly pads and rocks
So swiftly that all you see is the water trail behind me
I know how to croak in frog-talk
I know how to jump large distances
I know what I know
What do I know?
I know that moonbeams help to light my path
I know that dew drops help to feed my flowers
I know that frogs keep my garden safe from bugs
What do I know?
I know you are kind
Just as moonbeams light my path
So your kindness lights yours
I know you are kind
Just as dew drops feed flowers
Your kindness feeds the beauty of you
I know you are kind
Just as the frogs keep the garden healthy
So your kindness is the core of your health
What do I know
I know you are kind
Do you know it?
