Gratitude, like love, is part of being, Remaining when all else is left behind, Absurd and yet quite natural, a yearning To give to light the worship of the wind. In gratitude we find a gift worth giving To something that no gift can serve at all, Unburdening ourselves of unspent feeling Dammed behind a thick and willful wall, Else cut off by reason from our awe.
