i thank You God for most
this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true
dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is
yes
(i who have died am alive
again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life
and love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably
earth)
how should tasting touching
hearing seeing
breathing any-lifted from the no
of all nothing-human
merely being
doubt unimaginable You?
(now the ears of my ears
awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
