THANKFULNESSS
by: JP Leddy
Air filling expanding my lungs
inflating my muscles
stretching my toes
quickening my mind
clarifying my vision
into colors that quench my thirst
for the something more
where imagination meets creation
where love erupts intelligence’s passion
my spirit is ALIVE
My heart pumps out not blood, but
thankfulness
thankfulness
thankfulness
