~Thankful~

under the tides of the moon


we softly walk


blossoming profusely

"So walking here in twilight, O my friends!
I hear your voices, softened by the distance,
And pause, and turn to listen, as each sends
His words of friendship, comfort, and assistance.

If any thought of mine, or sung or told,
Has ever given delight or consolation,
Ye have repaid me back a thousand-fold,
By every friendly sign and salutation.

Thanks for the sympathies that ye have shown!
Thanks for each kindly word, each silent token,
That teaches me, when seeming most alone,
Friends are around us, though no word be spoken."
~Henry Wordsworth Longfellow. The Seaside & the Fireside ~

Today exudes gratitude!!! {& a song that seems to have descended on the moon's gentle beams!}
