Today My Gratitude is Different

It’s like an angel set gratitude down in front of me and said,

This. Here. Like this.

And when I didn’t understand, another angel set relaxation down next to it, and said,

That. There. Like that.

And when I stared blankly,
they flew off together and took striving with them.

They left behind contentment,
and now my gratitude bears the absence of effort
and feels like being.
