There is no greater paradise
Than simply being here.
The proof is in the agony
That willingly we bear.
A moment is beatitude;
A year, eternal grace;
A life, a window wide upon
The transcendental face.
Our gratitude's ubiquitous,
The stuff of every day,
The ground bass of an ecstasy
That never goes away.
And yet . . . and yet this wonder lies
Like grass beneath the snow:
Above we fear the brutal wind,
Eternal spring below.
