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.
