-- Gratitude’s Cup -- John Herlihy The waxing moon filling The dawn’s rays spilling Our dreams brimming Our desires winning Clouds of sorrow departing Buds of happiness starting Ocean waves cresting Young sparrows nesting The virgin moon waxing The spent moon waning Thick sacks of rice rejoicing Golden wheat anointing The jonquils sunning The blue jay humming The surging tide ebbing Gratitude’s cup overflowing The wick’s flame glowing Unknowing now knowing - - - - - Copyright © John Herlihy Thursday 22 September 2022

There's something eerie about your last line for this reader, like many realizations, this poem abounds with them, there is always the possibility of a mystery still prevailing. Unknowing now knowing can be interpreted multiple ways, but believing as I do in the concept of a paradox, I choose the eerie impact. Often thinking we have unraveled a mystery find that we have unwrapped an unexpected answer. Enjoyed this wordplay journey.
