Human Thanksgiving

Human Thanksgiving

Bi Janus

I, having waked,

feel you stretching

in contented sleep

as I have felt men do

in contentment,

though you are not a man.

Whether with yang of men

or with nothingness

that is woman’s yin,

I flow to the opposite pole,

and the contentment

just before waking

is the same,

something in the spirit,

if spirit exists,

is the same.

Beneath the heated blanket,

not waking alone,

but not strictly aware

that I am with you,

the sigh and the reach

of your arm to mine

as I draw a breath

is our thanksgiving.

[Merkin]

Well said, Bi. Awakening, contented, in someone's arms is a thanksgiving.

bi_janus has at last depicted, with no small measure of beauty, a reason for giving thanks on Thanksgiving Day.

Warming and wonder full.
