"A Tribute to the Universe" Poem from A Lover in the Land of Hell

As I wake up in this body

I thank the universe for my life

This physical vessel of cells and skin

of organs and of light

I thank the universe for each breath I take

each beautiful breath of air

flowing through my nose and throat

throughout my body everywhere

I thank my heart for pumping blood

continuously through my veins

My liver for removing toxins

allowing sustenance to remain

I thank my ears for hearing sounds

the gentle chirping of the birds

My nose for smelling all the scents

my tongue to speak my words

I'm grateful for the voice I have

so the world may hear my truth

I am grateful for the teeth I have

so I may chew my food

I thank my eyes for seeing beauty

sunshine, stars at night

I thank my fingers and my hands

for they hold a pen to write

I thank my legs for carrying me

where I need to go

and for the strength

that keeps me moving

the energy I flow

I am grateful for my abundance

fresh clean water, healthy food

I am grateful for my appetite

and for my pleasant mood

I thank this blessed universe

for all the loved ones in my life

surrounding me with beauty

positivity, endless light

I thank the spirits all around me

for helping me stay strong

uplifting my vital energy

moving my consciousness along

I'm grateful for a peaceful home

filled with comfort and love

I attract all things that I need

I always have enough

I'm blessed to have the means to help

a being that is in pain

to inspire them with the words I speak

bring them happiness again

I thank the spirit of the universe

for the conscious thoughts in my mind

connecting me to all the nuances

of the spiritually divine

I am grateful for this opportunity

to join my fellow soul

experiencing humanity

physicality, growing old

And when this shell of flesh and bones

has finally seen it's last day

I thank the universe kindly

for gently carrying my soul away
