Pay Back (Psalm 37:21)

“The wicked borrows but does not pay back, but the righteous is generous and gives.”


See the mountains

give their wealth away!

Selfless snowbanks

empty into rivers

splashing green on

woodland brown,

song over pebble,

and frolicking fawn,

down to thirsty 

furrowed farmland, 

through the gluttonous 

ungrateful city, 

down, down

to the salty sea,

virtuous water 

paying back her

mother’s generosity.
