an attitude of gratitude

the picturesque fall exploding with colors galore

the solitude and subtle colors of winter's grandeur

which give rise to springs rebirth in vibrant display

to birth summer into full bloom with nature's array

in the delicate features of the most fragrant of flowers

or the sacred stillness of life in the morn's wee hours

till the pace of time of takes off with glorious sunlight

offer opportunity for faux and fancy to take real flight

life pulses on one resounding beat at a time

offering wealth of experience subtle and sublime

madness and mayhem muffled by the mundane

serenity the champion conquers the most inane

the insatiable human heart echoes of love's longing

lamenting hollowness like the waylaid song bird

as miracle expands within to find a full faith

wisp of the human spirit drifting as a wraith

smile upon countenance I know from the inside out

this is fodder that produces the gratitude I'm talking about

so much I can say yet there is that for which words fail

deep inside I reach to touch gentle soul's billowing sail

not simply a single moment of being in this grateful place

it's perpetual maneuvering on gratitude's buoyant grace
