THANKFUL HEART

As a good wine must be kept in a good cask, so a wholesome body is the proper foundation for a well-appointed inner ground. Johannes Tauler

I give thanks to all the beautiful luscious hearts that fill my life with meaning.

Thankful Heart

You live inside
the lode of my heart,
without need of
acknowledgment,
nourishing my streaks
of fear and question,
soothing me with
understanding
and adoration.

I cherish your
quiet fruition
for gratefulness,
as your
winged hands
forgive my
earth’s burdens, and
I drink in the
likeness of you.
