Out of Darkness and Into the Sun
Is it not "spiritual" to know you are here.
To take in the smile of a new arrival,
soak up the youthful wonder,
when sin didn't dull your hunger.
To watch an animal play, with no care in the world
except to be the one in the box
who sand-spiders sibling into, like a victim bast.
No complaining that they are not human.
Nothing but pure zest of Life.
Isn't it true that you cannot say
you are not "spiritual", and that spiritual means "contemplative romantic gratitude".
Thank you for creation, Lord.
