Gratefulness
Do you love things that cascade? Do you adore rain falling in sheets or over the ledge, splashing clear joy? Do you love velvet drapes plunging
into a royal red pile on the stage of life? How about wisteria, how it drenches spring in ribbons of lush lavender, how the breathless beauty falls
through cracks, over fences, how it softens the edges of anything?
Then there is the matter of the knees. Slowly, willingly they descend into the dark depths when all is lost, or seems to be.
What falls calls you unfastens you opens you.
With time, lifts you.
