believing


Because even though I feel as if I am drowning in rain these days, I still believe in sunshine and blue sky and days that exude happiness.

i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
wich is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any-lifted from the no
of all nothing-human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

~i thank You God
by e.e. cummings

  1. Upon first reading this poem, I thought it was yours, and I was thinking, "My goodness, Meg is getting really good at poetry!" And then I saw the name at the bottom...haha. But I have no doubt that you could make poetry this wonderful!
