Thankful

I am thankful for heavy drops of rain
and bright sun.

I am thankful for the noise of wind
and for the silence at 6:45 a.m.

I am thankful for the ability to learn
and for sleep.

I am thankful for vision
and for hope.

I am thankful for the listeners in my life
and for the talkers

I am thankful for the smell of espresso
and the taste of peanut butter.

I am thankful for seeing in darkness.
