Notes About The Poem

Gratitude

(“With Love”, 2017, original encaustic)

Gratitude

In a world of worries
There are always complex problems
And simple solutions.

So easily our habits spin us 
Into dizzying heights and depths
Our minds left seeking ways down and out.

When instead all we need do
To find a way through 
Is see it with a breath of gratitude.

Since this is something that isn’t real if contrived, it’s better to just forget it and be relieved when you discover it again…
