i thank you

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 tasking 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
