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.

Longing has
a thousand pathways,
each one ending
in light 

in a single flash
of gratitude.

  3. Nice poem, it takes so much strength to accept this fact and be grateful for having everything that we have. All the beauty around us - and the eyes to see those to start with.

  6. Dear Marja,

    I once read a saying that gratitude is the best path to a happy life. And I think there's something to it. I'm also very grateful to have met you—both in real life and through your blog with its wonderful poems. Your vibrant language always evokes images in my mind that resonate so well with my own inner world!

    Many hugs and a wonderful Advent season 🕯️✨❣️, Traude
