Abundance

My gratitude for the eternal golden light of sunshine
Flooding my lonely darknesses
Is abundance.
My gratitude for rain,
The smell and feel of it as it
Waters the fecund earth
Is abundance.
My gratitude for those hardy plants that appear
And cling to life in the most inhospitable places,
Like the wild freesias,
Flourishing in their glorious simplicity
Transforming rocky banks beside the train lines each spring without fail
Is abundance.

Gratitude is abundance.
The eternality of beauty truth and goodness
Is abundance.
Abundance is an eternal continuum
generating gratitude and
giving
Life.
