This Day a Blessing

Let me count this day a blessing. Let me count
these two, this she, and he who barks
as messengers, sent by who
is that he is, to prove the more than is apparent, indeed
a wonderful abundance shot with changing light,
reverberant with echoes of a higher music whose
melody rings and lyrics sing a glad and great recounting
in harmony--whose perfect grace is only faintly glimpsed
in its complexity--of this my life,
my heart, my world,
my blessing.
