Gratitude
…… , , , , ,……
Anonymous in a pier,
no one in sight.
My dry soul needing repair,
pagan eyes dipped in blunt air
nothing seems right.
Waters fold like requiem weeds
all prayers lost.
Raking sands of hope’s dragged sails,
As blackness opens lonely nails
alone almost.
Until, a gentle drifting
of scent and time,
fireflies’ gratefully rafting
on buoyant bay alighting ,
a bird tweet chime.
Delicate breeze touches me
with floral wraps.
To let praise calm my sea,
Glitters of blessings rush free
fill vacant gaps.
To seize these miracles tended
in wrapped splendor.
Thank you, small pleasures gifted
flowing with earth’s brew tasted,
I surrender.
My wish to touch all hours
with God’s soft tone,
on people and stray flowers.
For dark and light are showers
of grace evensong.
