A Revelation of Gratitude

On the precipice,
of many a road,
down in the deep,
living with toads.
Future so close,
a flower to hold,
how many petals within to mould?
Only God knows, only the future will tell,
on this journey out of the well.

I know it is bright,
for the light shines just right,
and it makes for such a wonderful sight.
Thank you for this gift,
for past hurts and trials,
thou dost benefit from the churning River Nile.
The torrent of emotions,
the darkness of sea,
all gave birth to the present me.

And when thou dost look,
from just the right angle,
one cannot ignore the feelings of hope and delight.
Yes,
I like this river,
the water is just right.

No longer a blitzing, smashing confusion,
from where I now stand the current has calmed,
and all around me the water has warmed,
to encompass all life,
the birds and the bees,
the trees, the snails, the ants and the fleas.
All are here with me,
on the same plight.
I will no longer refuse to revel in delight.

So thank you my friends,
for showing me the way,
thank you to the cars, to the boats, to the trains.
Thank you, Wind,
for bracing me straight.
Thank you, Sun,
for the inner light you motivate.
Thank you, Earth,
for grounding me so.
Thank you, water,
for teaching me to flow.

And now it would seem,
we are coming to an end.
All are inspired.
All are friends.
