i thank You God for most this amazing
day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday; this is the birth
day of life and love and wings: and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any-lifted from the no
of all nothing-human merely being
doubt unimaginably You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

~ e e cummings

faith is the heart-drumming Yes of morning love
when even the leaves are falling their colorful wreath
was never no the empty sun-blue sky was never no
the fare-well deaths were never no but sighs
that wake the ear of the ear and sights
that shout the eye of the eye to open
