We thank the logs

 

We thank the logs

We thank the logs
    in our wood stove,
    glowing heat
    through the night.
We thank the candle’s
    quiet flame
    on our table
    giving light.

Thank you water, filling creeks
    from the sky, sweet rain.
Thank you heart, steady beat
    blood to wash each vein.

We thank the bread
    scent of yeast
    freshly warm
    at the knife.
We thank the air
    from leaf green
    to our lungs
    for this life.
