***(thankful)

i'm thankful for the nights

for they give birth to brighter days

i'm thankful for the silence

for it gives cushion for the sound to lay

i'm thankful for the void

for it encompasses the form

i'm thankful to abnormal

for making me appreciate the norm

i'm thankful for abundant rain--

it quenches thirst of all the living

i'm thankful for the heartache

for it reminds me i have heart that i will keep on giving

away
