I'm not a believer, but...


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 of 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 unimaginable You?

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