A Blessing

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR:  CORONAVIRUS SERIES



A Blessing

Every minute of every day
Every intake of breath
Every morning we wake
Is a blessing

Every peek at a whispering wind
Every song of the woman in lace
Every dance of the muses
Every moment of grace
A blessing

Every scent of a lover’s perfume
Every taste of her kiss
Every touch of her contours
Every remembrance of bliss
Every flight of the spirits
Every feeling we missed
A blessing

If there is a glimmer of light
In this ocean of darkness
It is this:

To understand the deepest truth
That life itself is a blessing
And every measure of life
In its depth and width
Should be treasured
More than all the precious
Stones and metals
In creation

Even now as we face the precipice
Even now as we face an end
Even now as we seek a reckoning
Even now more than ever
We are grateful for all
The blessings we
Have received

Life is good
Life is wondrous true
Life is teeming with joy
Life is beauty and creativity
Life is a blessing without end
