Sometimes

when we've listened deeply

we fall into a hedge of

affection

tonight

what do we know of

what we don't say —

of a gaze

landing easy

across a distant sea?

we hover

in a history of

childhood hurts

what curious terror

this fate that pushes

our will against

a strong wind

now at our backs

nudging us on

— Drew Myron

Please join me for Thankful Thursday, a weekly pause to express appreciation for things small and large, from the puny to the profound. Because attention attracts gratitude and gratitude expands joy, let us gather our thanksgivings.
