Thank-Feel
And this world— it can hold so much sadness and pain. It also holds an infinite well of wonder*
like the warmth (of hand, heart)
and the stars (in mind, eyes),
and all that’s melodic (Joseph's guitar
accompanying)
gracious
spacious
and the veto power of a smile
and to-day -- Its current itinerary
is enough.
