Angel of Gratitude: A Thank You Hug

by Aberjhani — Read all 107 poems by Aberjhani

From The River of Winged Dreams

Wednesday, July 12, 2006


Poem Artwork


Dear Readers,

Please enjoy the following poem. I’m happy to announce it is now available in a new book that you may view and purchase if you wish by clicking on The River of Winged Dreams

 

To My Brothers and Sisters in Poetry and Prose who were not only kind enough to bless my birthday with their good wishes, but who bless my life and this troubled world throughout the year with the profound beauty and healing wisdom of their inspired writings:
 

 

Each, shaped from a heart

divine––such is the nature

of your humble wings.

 

Love, Mercy, and Grace,

sisters all, attend your wounds

of silence and hope.

 

You are the good twin

and the bad. Not arrogant,

but jubilant…sweet…

 

With grief or without,

your flight commands awareness

of joy beyond pain.

 

Holy starbright of

infinite heavens, for these

tears––I do thank you.

  
 

With love,

Aberjhani

Bless you so much, dear Aberjhani... for every force there is an equal and opposite force and we give back what we receive compounded. You give us each corporately and individually so much feasting and treasure that you must surely some day be engulfed by a tsunami of the soul that will wash you safe upon Paradisian shores... but, please God, not too soon! We are proud to call you Brother and Son and blessed beyond measure that you are part of our family here, and that you so freely share your surpassing bounties of soul and poetry in this place. When I reviewed Nordette's fantastic piece The View from Woundedness yesterday, just a line of poetic response came into my head which comes to me again here today for some reason - just the impression this leaves upon my soul - although somewhat paradoxical in nature, bearing out perhaps the thoughts I was seeking to express in Not Without Beauty: "Ah, my Darling... lay your cheek soft against mine and feel our mutual heartbeat for we are two sides of the same spinning coin, twin reflections gazing from the shared mirrored glass", The View from Woundedness... Whatever... you furnish each of us here with infinite feathers, inspiring our wings of heartfelt gratitude for each and every passing day of your purposeful life - and especially for the day on which you were born. Many, countless, happy returns... LOL Kate xx

Blessed are the hearts of those that are recipients of kindness; those that respond to love and harmony as an ever green tree of humanity.

Thank You, Poet for letting the world know the difference between beauty, wisdom, knowledge and ignorance.

Long healthy creative life through a blissful living.

In gratitude,


Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

In the infiniteness of time and space there is this grain of sand,
with the elegant ability and dexterity to bless others and enrich their lives.

You are that grain of sand dear Aberjhani, the voice of one crying in the wilderness, the one whose mellifluent words soothe the savage beast in us.

May the muse of epic poetry, Calliope -
and the muse of love poetry, Erato -
and the muse of lyric poetry, Euterpe -
shower blessings upon your soul . . . figuratively speaking!

Never rest your quill Poet!
