Demeter

White with black stripes
Weathered and ragged
Tailfeathers blown through
With bullets

This is what I am thankful for:

Slow breaths and deep smiles.
Quite conversations
With loud preamble.
Humored compassion, Im grateful.
Big moments and small feats,
The moment of inspiration.
Learned humanness
Though unfiltered humans

I have the chance to watch
Dreams grasp opportunity
Fragile concepts seek individuality
What are we here for
If not to help others?
Who are we if not simply human?

White with black stripes
Weathered and ragged

What more could I be thankful for.

An inspirational poem of hope for humanity. That speaks of our better nature and best qualities. A wonderful and thoughtful piece of poetry Sara Jane. Thank you for sharing it with us.
