Calm ’n Sense Animal Care

The Pasture, Robert Frost

Poetry

I'm going out to clean the pasture spring; I'll only stop to rake the leaves away (And wait to watch the water clear, I may): I sha'n't be gone long.—You come too.

I'm going out to fetch the little calf That's standing by the mother. It's so young, It totters when she licks it with her tongue. I sha'n't be gone long.—You come too.

Only in Sleep, Sara Teasdale

Only in sleep I see their faces Children I played with when I was a child Louise comes back with her brown hair braided Annie with ringlets warm and wild

Only in sleep Time is forgotten— What may have come to them, who can know? Yet we played last night as long ago And the doll-house stood at the turn of the stair

The years had not sharpened their smooth round faces I met their eyes and found them mild— Do they, too, dream of me, I wonder And for them am I too a child?

The River, Winston Harrison

There is a river that runs so calm, A river that sings a new psalm, A psalm of peace and rest. Within its waters we are blessed. Come to these waters, let your need be known. See the hurt around you; you are not alone. Come to its waters; receive its balm. Here at its banks there’s no sunset or dawn; Only the Light, darkness is gone. Time stands still; it is God’s will. Come to the river; leave your burden and care, For truly the Spirit is there. Come! Sing about its peace and rest. Let your voice soar to the mountain crest. Come! Bathe in its waters pure. Open your heart to the Spirit; Let your soul feel secure.

Moonlight Sound Design, Raimonds Tiguls

In the moonlight, time stands still. The present melts into the past, and my spirit communes with souls that have passed before me.

I can never explain, can never tell you. No!

In the night, it smells of morning. And in the silence, flowers and birds herald the light. Tears in my eyes, like dewdrops on flowers that, with the light, will disappear, having been lost in darkness. I can never explain, can never tell you. No!
