ONE DAY HE DECIDED TO PRAISE THINGS


"Mountain River", oil, by Mark Webster
One day he decided to praise things.
The first thing he praised
was the thought of praising things,
then the feeling of flowing
into morning on a river,
then the way thanks
seemed to live throughout his body --
in his triumphant fingers
and in his feet
that will find themselves
standing on sacred ground
every second of this day
that somehow came dancing
up to his door.
