Thankful

  Eyes wander from one corner
to the next. Where did the color go?
Why is there no one standing up, stating
the right, the truth?

  Why only is there a howling echo
vibrating throughout the corridor? How
do I not feel, show all that hass suddenly
crept deep inside me? How do I let go?

                     Jehovah!

  One more day my eyes open. One more
deep, fresh breath I inhale.

  Thankful for the senses that are alert.
Thankful for the window breaking a new
dawn. Thankful for a start, a new day.
So grateful to be able to share Jehovah
with everyone, once more.

  Open the mouth. Speech halted, stuttered
yet still pressing out. A soft sigh to express
my concern, then an internal prayer. Clearing
throat. Exits a childlike smile, giggle and a
clear voice exictes all those spoken.

  Ah not in haste. Not in hushed tones.
Not in heated disagreements.

               Just pure love, happiness and joy
                   radiates. See me shine. All thanks
                      to Jehovah's holy spirit.

               One more day to give praise.
