Gratitudes

Today I am grateful for the words
Which flow from pen and keyboard
And often from voice box, but not so very many of them are connected to one another and that’s all right

Today I am grateful for the words which flow so quickly that I do not need to think and what is important is reading them afterward to see the message from the hinterlands of my brain or even from someone else’s story.

Today I am grateful for the words whereby I learn the stories and tell the stories and share the stories and wait for them to come back around, changed yet constant.

Today I am grateful for the words.
