1971 Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri

The Beauty Again
 In the forest we listen to God's sounds.
 Each bird calls to it's mate. 
 We face one another calling out
 For the freedom of God's children.
 The rock and the stream
 Coincide with the beauty of nature.
 Like pebbles lying at the bottom of the stream,
 Cleansed by stampeding, clear white water,
 We look at the sky.
 Together we extend our thanks
 For the land that surrounds us.
 The grass bending ever so slightly 
 When the clear wind grazes past it.
 The flowers opening to greet the sun,
 As it arcs overhead sending it's blessings
 On warm consoling beams.The rich brown earth savoring
 Heat and warmth and also the rain.
 The waters fleeting along their
 Unobstructive course.
 We emulate the warmth
 Still walking the path of pulchritude
 Drafted by Jove in the Heavens.
 We pray for the land as we depart--
 And we never see the beauty again
