Simple

for all the Gifts
arriving in packages
of profound perplexity
like crazy combinations
of madness and sanity
guilt and Graces
salt stirring in gravies
and rolling down Faces
the not quites
and maybes
of countries founded
on high ideals
yet confounded
on how the diversity
of entities converge
to create a Community
never realized before
and families grounded
by deep grief 
and buoyed 
by deeper Gratitude
finding their strength
in the shared
Sorrow and Joy
Doubt and Belief
complicated containers
often crammed
with remainders
and leftovers
closing us up
driving us further
into the land
of complainers
searching in vain
for four-leaf clovers
yet opening Something
within our Selves
that was buried
within the complexity
like the most delicious 
morsel hidden
within the girth
of the feast
the most precious
treasure imbedded
within the heart
of the Earth
and the Hearts
of the Least
in the fears
rarely ridden
and the Tears
barely bidden
amidst our inner resistance
to hear once again
the Mystical Musicality
of the greatest Call
embracing the Reality
at the core
of our existence
upon this terrestrial Ball...
One Hand
One Heart
One Beat
One Breath
One Love
One Light
stronger than death
longer than Life
the most essential
and Simple Gift
of All...

Thank You.
