The ups and downs, petty rigours, and busyness of life make Gratitude difficult to celebrate. But thankfulness manifests more to be grateful for.

So we embrace it, with the help of our five senses. Here’s a 5-line tribute to the Universe for what we have.

πŸπŸ‚πŸŽƒπŸŒ»πŸ„πŸŒΎπŸπŸ‚πŸŒ»πŸŽƒπŸ„πŸπŸ‚πŸŽƒπŸŒ»πŸ„πŸŒΎπŸπŸ‚πŸŒ»πŸŽƒπŸ„πŸπŸ‚πŸŽƒπŸŒ»πŸ„

Dawn’s gentle breath pulls me from night’s shell,

The scent of dew-drenched earth brings life afresh.

A flash of warmth laces with my fingertips,

Whispers of morning reside on Silences’ border,

The sweetness of the wind, Gratitude’s vow kept.

    Profound and beautiful, but the extra β€œof” in the last line throws it off the rhythm a little.
