Harmonizing Gratitudes Poem by iris shih

Gratitude
A voice in my heart shining
Singing, dancing, anticipating
Calming down all the chaos
Talking to the one of you who cares
Gratitude
A soul in my heart once sleeping
Awakening, satisfied, glorified
Calming down all the nerves
Relaxing to the one that matters

Gratitude
A self in my mind once tearing
Soothing, paving, uprising
Calming down all the thoughts
Returning to the one of the cores

Gratitude
A part in my mind once being sick
Recovering, hurrahing, outstanding
Calming down all those ill
Undoing all the ill-will once being harassing

Gratitude
A peace of my mind once being forgotten
Uprising, stabilizing, intrinsic
Calming down all the souls once crying
Harmonizing into dreams of risk-taking
