Poetry

Thanksgiving

It feels right to be thankful

for the grace of gifts given 

and received.

Forevermore, the velvet

soothing of love.

Existence in its entirety

craving to be known.

Breath and sighs, the wonder

of a complying body.

An essential spark 

that eternally nudges, 

gently impels, 

in a labyrinth

towards communion.

Trust in wholeheartedly allowing

an uncharted course.

Thank you, I sense 

your innate presence.

It sustains me, always.
