Words of Gratitude
Mana Junkie
A quick and dirty mix.
I will give you delicacies
and a loving embrace
as candlelights flickr
warmth permeates
doors will be open
and laughter ensues
on the day we
fill up on our gratitude
it’s the first light on a rainy day
right after sleep
still warm
your breath soothing next to me
pull apart the curtains
the illumination’s gentle
a quiet awakening
to a new day
it’s feeling safe
despite turmoil and changes
and rockets and threats
and anger
and dismay
and fear
it’s the trust that
together we will stay
to make our way
through
layers of experience
a patina of pleasure and shame
mellow with age
there is grace
in surrender
and grace in faith
a giving of thanks
