I am thankful for...
nights that turn into mornings
s
u
n
light that filters through
in drowsy moments
sounds you can only hear with
quiet concentration.
home, and for those that call it that too
a mind that speaks, music to drown in
art to admire and be in awe of
books books and books
pages and chapters and real emotion
over fictional characters
sharp pencil points
forever memories
and faded memories
peace and friends who remind me
to smile and not fade away
reaching
trying
hoping
the ability to start over again
seeing one more time
one last time
if only in a dream
all these pieces of life
make me think
and thank
the One who gave it all.
