Gratitude

Words on trees

pretending to be leaves,

swaying in the breeze,

floating in the universe. 

Kindness,

hope,

inspiration,

love,

grace,

faith,

peace,

words to live by.

I choose you to be

 the one for me,

you whisper in my ear,

when I awaken from my sleep.

I hear your voice   

in my dreams.

I have walked with you,

through our long journey.

You found me in a dark place,

and you lifted me,

you pulled thorns out of my soul.

We choose words,

to walk with them,

a word to define the year.

A new day,

a new page,

we slice to pieces,

to savor,

to squander away.

We choose a word to stuff

into the pockets of our hearts,

to fly on the wings of our spirit.

Gratitude,

you are my constant companion.

I whisper your 

name a thousand times.

I dance with you in the rain,

you embrace me when I weep.

You are simple and complicated,

you are fear, you are love.

You are tears, you are laughter.

I carry you as

you carry me.
