THANKFUL FOR POETRY
yes, I am thankful for poetry’s gift
exuding worshipful gratitude-bliss
humbling me to praise God* for being blest
directed toward caring kindness-route
showered by heavenly fulfillment-triumph
optimizing adventurous spree
midst injustice demanding fairness-share
against flaws of bias, though unconsciously done
transforming frustration toward goodness glow
balancing pressure vis-a-vis pleasure
*Isaiah 25:1O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
