Dear Universe:
Bless these gifts from your bounty these lilacs of yams and anthuriums of tomato cherries.
Bless this your bread, we share as companion friends.
The pumpkin you sheltered under wondrous leaves on cold stars, thank you.
Your ocean crystals made salt, your mystic swamps grew shrubs of elderberry peppers, thank you.
And for the clay of your earth that formed this white plate.
Thank you for our home, our work, our plants, our music, the river stones shaped like whale art on the mantle, it is for luck.
At this table in situ accept our gratitude.
Bonne année, Universe.
Your provisions, this constancy, in our minds receiving food granted, just like that; yet it is not without humility we make time and remember and include you in our lives before you feed us.
You are in our midst.
Forever.
A dinner candle.
"They flicker and flit through branches and reeds like sunlight on a windy day. [This] perfect world." (Annie Proulx)
Such a beautiful thanksgiving prayer to the universe. I am touched. Blessings to us all and thank you for sharing this moment of gratitude to the universe for the many, many blessings we have all around us, you are able to see in such a profound detail in your poetry.
I love it ❤️💛
Happy New Year
Beautiful! Mahalo. Thank you, universe, always.
