For The Breeze Newly Minted, For The Sun Just Coined Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

FOR THE BREEZE NEWLY MINTED, FOR THE SUN JUST COINED
For the breeze newly minted
For the sun, just coined
For the unaccountable bridge
Suddenly appearing, over the flood plains
How can I not thank you God
For the blue of skies remembered
For the orchid winds as well
the lilies that consoled me
In the hour of distress
Their perfume on the air
I could never explain.
For the strength for what remains
To emerge from all sorrow
Shining as if after long interminable rains
To rest in the aftermaths
To soar over fear
Even, like a small bird
Singing. darting
from the bramble bushes
Of an insignificant dream:
May all pain
Transform itself into infinite beauty.
