Gratefulness

Gratefulness is a word
that expands the mind
to the unlimited possibilities

of heart-astounding wonder,
that provides an escape
from the prison
of suffering
created

by the mind
to contain itself.
Except,
gratefulness is not just a word;
it is a feeling
that can dissolve
the ceiling
of limitation
and reveal
a cosmic world
of everlasting peace
and beauty
and
mindfulness.
Gratefulness if like a flower,
a sweet
and delicate
teardrop of the sky
waiting
to bloom for you
and nourish
that pocket
of your soul
searching
for honey.
