HARE
How my raw palms twitch
In sun's last tingle
No one knows
I'm here
Not gulls-a-gossiping
Not coal cloud clusters or oaken shadows
The railway and the salt road
Knew me
Entombed in lost and found
Enrobed in memory
Encased in the mirror
In the room marked Gents
Or cut on glass on the bar room floor
Hare Hare Hare
Who's gazing at the harvest moon
Who now runs with the deer
Who's chomping the still fresh green
In this summer's last tingle
A lucky lucky hare
That's who
Good Morning sleepyhead
Who's open palm catches the plum
Yes - You
Gratitude is not a gift
Gratitude is waking
In sun's last tingle
No one knows
I'm here
Not gulls-a-gossiping
Not coal cloud clusters or oaken shadows
The railway and the salt road
Knew me
Entombed in lost and found
Enrobed in memory
Encased in the mirror
In the room marked Gents
Or cut on glass on the bar room floor
Hare Hare Hare
Who's gazing at the harvest moon
Who now runs with the deer
Who's chomping the still fresh green
In this summer's last tingle
A lucky lucky hare
That's who
Good Morning sleepyhead
Who's open palm catches the plum
Yes - You
Gratitude is not a gift
Gratitude is waking

Whale...First, let me say that, the imagery, in your first stanza, is uniquely striking! I could close my eyes, and so clearly visualize the breath-catching beauty of the clouds, and hear the geese "gossiping"..a concept that left me smiling!
My friend, this piece whispers, so soothingly, to my soul,as a gently spiritual experience...the final stanza an enlightenment! To be sure--gratitude is not something that is granted (gifted) to us. Rather, it comes from within...as a deep, thankful appreciation in the bounty of simple beauty that surrounds us....discovering the pleasure in awakening to each new day!
A sagacious scribe of serenity and Nature's splendor!
