Thankfulness
Waking up in the morning:
The way the blankets cling
And shiver against my skin.
That first breath that tells me I'm
Alive and fighting.
The sleepy darkness,
An envelope of silence;
The way the sunlight glows against closed curtains,
Like someone I once knew asking to be let in.
In the bathroom,
The way cold water feels against my face as white skin blooms
This

Serene Bedtime Musings
Lying there, serenely, after a warm jasmined bath,
The thought hit me, what if I never again do awake?
Just wide eyed in heaven’s home to joyfully partake!
I awoke to live in eternal love with good and not wrath.
Now existingin a realm with God, not one of mortal men.
To constantly whisper, I am finally here, with joy

Gratitude Is for the Wise
Gratitude is for the wise,
mindfully celebrating life.
Shifting focus from lack in the eyes,
Gratitude is for the wise;
learning from the lows and the highs.
No distinction of times of smiles or strife,
Gratitude is for the wise;
mindfully celebrating life.
Gratitude is for the wise,
shifting focus from lack in the eyes;
learning from the lows and the highs.
No distinction of times

The Beauty of Fall
The Beauty of Fall
Fall
frost invites
your favorite sweater
Fall
into hills of cold crunchy leaves
Fall
back in time to
a childhood school memory
Fall
to your knees and thank
Gaia for her bounty
Fall
favorably with the lost bees
as they try to find their way
Fall
into someone’s arms at
Homecoming dance
Fall
headfirst into
luscious bobbing apples
Fall
into a bed
of fresh flannel sheets
Mostly,
Fall
fearlessly into
whatever

Thankfulness
Thankfulness i
If things are changing for the
better in you,
Be certain this supernatural
wonderment is happening in
the world too.
Rejoice, pray and sing.
Even though we look around and
see horrid things.
Find God, in the most negative
circumstances,
Allow your soul to do graceful
soul dances.
Gratitude overcomes negativity,
Even though hurtful emotions be?
Do not worry about anything
Pray instead about everything.
Tell God what you need
Ride

Just a passerby who wrote some books of wisdom
Enquiring into the Way towards heaven's bright kingdom
Reading ancient steles in a moden day light
Even using Zen as a reading stone for clear insight
Molding a mind and heart union to birth gnosis
You, Puma, showed how Christ and wisdom can guide hypnosis
Poured

In the rich story of life—moments float and sway
An innocuous glow of thankfulness ignites the soul
A sturdy stance of gratitude entails a virtuous array
Spread all virtues—never tumble into a hole.

Written In His Book
Soft as the morning, dawning with hope
For the moments who are calling…
Wistful and warm, dreaming of the light
Fading gentle against the night’s sky,
Birthing the reflection, graceful, so special
Like inspiration’s breath, sighing serene
Wonderful as the autumn breeze, listening
To the rustling pleas of leaves who dance
In the wind, lifting blessings in silent prayers
Beautiful as the music, praising

Dressed
The trees are dressed in summer green.
The sky is dressed in gray.
And I am dressed in thankfulness,
To start another day.

Thankfulness In a Rare Winter Nostalgia Moment
sitting of the sofa with my pancake pizza
the snow has freshly fallen
the atmosphere is peaceful
i cut on the tv to watch reach the beach
the honey butter drop biscuits are ready
the chocolate milk is perfectly cold
i see the she has awakened
her nipples are hard, and her smile is sleepy
she gives me a kiss good morning and
