i thank You God for most this amazing day

i thank You God for most this amazing day:

for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky;

and for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes

 

(i who have died am alive again today,

and this is the sun’s birthday;

this is the birth day of life and of love and wings:

and of the gay great happening illimitably earth)

 

how should tasting touching hearing seeing

breathing any - lifted from the no of all nothing –

human merely being doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake

and now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

e.e. cummings 1894-1962

 

I don't know much about old e e cummings except his penchant for small letters. I like this poem though. (Everything in me wants to change that first line but that is what he wrote). See here too.
