Gratitude

Meaning of beautiful

Gratitude

Thank you

for lyric and starlight
weaving around my soul.

I dress myself
in the ocean.
I wash my thoughts
in its water
to receive clarity,
to see the beauty 

strikes of red, purple,
and white stitched
into the sky.

The longing has
a thousand pathways,
each one ending
in light 

in a single flash
of gratitude.
