The Greatest Gratitude

Words can paint a picture, meant only for the ears to view As thoughts can spark the actions for the will of the body to do The ground is full of footsteps of the path from roads taken As the sun rising in the distance reveals that the dawn has awakened When perspective sits atop the world for the showing, The goodness of the moment passes without the mind ever knowing But when the brilliance of the moment ceases and the sweetness has become rotten The darkness grabs the mind's attention when good thoughts have been forgotten When disparity assumes perspective, it is thought that all light has ended But when perspective provides the spark the loss of emptiness can be mended Donation of the self is the act of the most valuable giving As quality exceeds survival in moments of better living One cannot receive that which one does not bestow For knowledge is meant to be used it is not enough to simply know But when attention is paid, the revenue of the mind Attention is given in return for the solutions the mind quests to find Like the gift receiver that appreciates with thee greatest gratitude The universe rewards the soul with the greatest attitude
