A Gratitude Poem

On layered ice and snow

Where life desires no boundaries

Enveloped by nature’s forces of humility

Is where I found home

~

On mountain tops

Of endless riveted rock and view

Where night sky ravens light the day

Nothing can darken a breathing ocean blue

~

The blessed wind shall lift me

Towards anywhere true

Tie a kite string to my waist

Let me glide on cloud skates

~

Let my kite colours fly ribbons of laughter world wide

~

See ‘Nuna’,

Has always reminded me of the word

‘Lullaby’

Where the earth rocks us with the gentlest of goodnights

~

On this Nuna

On this land

Sky

Water

~

There is boundless

Open

Just spread your heart wide

Breathe in it’s embrace

~

Sing it’s praises

~

On layered ice and snow

I found the humblest of welcomes

Floating in wide open air yet rooted to permafrost

Where home felt so warm even in the coldest of places
