Gratitude (April 1990)
By: Jean Katus
Dawn T’ai Chi Chih
at a now-dry riverbed
My gaze gravitates to the horizon
where a gift awaits me
The pale moon shows her full face
just before she sinks–
round, whole, complete,
a perfect yin-yang contained within her borders
Yet that is only half the gift
I turn to the eastern sky
and see the sun gently rising from that horizon
