This Blessed Day
Poetry
Be overwhelmed by it, let its splendour touch you, and let your doubts fall away, Don’t overthink or try to explain how the light rises on each blessed day. The blue lagoons, the purple mornings, the orange deserts, the forests green, Could you imagine a more beautiful stage? Every corner of this place, a little scene. This rainbow world, under a yellow sun, the azure shore lapping at sandy shoals, The highest mountains, the deepest valleys, A playground for our supernatural souls. Take a mango, squeeze its juice until the Nectar runs out the corners of your lips. Shiver in the night and feel the cool upon your body in the shade of an eclipse. Dream every time you see a white, fluffy cloud, wish on every star in the night’s ink-blue sky. Smell the grass after the rain when it's damp, on a warm summer’s afternoon, take a nap, Relish every meal with friends and family, Bounce a chubby baby gurgling on your lap. Every drop of warm sunlight on your skin, Every taste of sweet honey from a hive, There are some days that exist to remind us, Just how very, very good it is to be alive.
