Picture Book II: Of Seldom Thought Thanks

A challenge well met with thought and passion,
To express seldom given thanks in poetic fashion;
Thus running through my list overly long,
Though reams of paper hold not all that belong,
I abandon obviousness and inside retreat,
Pushing past thought, time, and life is no small feat.
But far beyond in innerspace I find
Startling revelations of the soul shaking kind.
Isolated coincidences in time abound,
Apparent grace does my life surround.
There are such clear signs present,
As to force doubt of doubt and make one repent.
So my thanks for all good things large and small,
And for the infinite chance that together binds us all.

Good Word from a great poet... Good job.

I wish to become a great poet some day, but it will only come in time. Til then, I shall write my poems, and wait.
