Steady rain on the river today
and we paddle through the pour.
Calm waters quiet the mind
and I finally feel the glide.
Hush, muted, muffled, tranquil, peaceful . . . I’ve run out of words for quietude, but I never stop looking — for the moment and the telling. This week I am thankful for light rain, a shift in perspective, a gentle river, steady love, and this poem:
Haiku (for you)
love between us is
speech and breath. loving you is
a long river running.
It’s Thankful Thursday, a weekly pause to express appreciation for people, places, things, and more. Attention attracts gratitude, and gratitude expands joy. Please join me.
What are you thankful for today?
