-- Blessings --

John Herlihy

 

 

Solitude is a blessing,

And enjoys rare delight.

Quietude witnessing,

Moonlight in the night.

 

Light is a blessing,

Without shadow.

Color addressing,

An arc of rainbow.

 

Water is a blessing,

Rhythm in its flow.

Purity possessing,

Waves winds blow.

 

Pure love is blessing,

Beings bathed in light.

True love confessing,

United day and night.

 

Patience is a blessing,

Burden in the weight.

Endless be the waiting,

Beauty lies in the wait.

 

Mystery is a blessing,

To pursue the unknown.

Knowing can be lacking,

Waiting to be known.

 

Not knowing a blessing,

The blind need no eyes.

Life keeps us guessing,

To uphold the surprise.

You are certainly fully blessed as portrayed in this poem. I hope those that are blind the lab be offended by your line in the last stanza. When I think of Ray Charles having to get his pay and dollar bills to avoid being shortchanged, there are some parts of life that having a pair of eyes is the only way to make it in the rapidly changing technological environment.

It's rather amazing to start listing all the blessings any of us can behold. Giving and showing thanks... well, that's another thing.

There are so many blessings we have if only we take time to reflect. Enjoyed the poem.
