Thanks Giving


thank you universe for all that you’ve given

we thank you for the fish in the sky

and for the birds in the sea

thank you for the day we die

and for the birth that will be

thank you universe for all that you’ve given


curls at the corners of the cause

like it was rolled up and rethought for too long

or just long enough

sparkled with fingerprint ridges and love

toned by the spirits imparted

the perspectives aligned in trust

sweet with wrinkles and weather’s rough touch

no longer light but light’s imprint on us

rippled imperfect as flames falling up

how the sky longs to turn every one

as we’re still growing...

the will of the sun

steadily sending ray upon ray

the way wishes depart

certainly reaching something

but slow to be taken to heart

yet when it’s encountered

like liquid it seeps in so far

your molecules are reformed

like dust which encounters a star


thank you universe for all that you’ve given
