Ever heard a “thank you” so sincere
Hairs on the back of your neck
Stand erect growing even in length
Ever heard a “thank you” so sincere
Chambers of your heart mimic the Venus flytrap, to freely give or receive sans deceit
One immaculately expressed
Where tensed muscles give way to relief
Just like ice cubes douse throbbing pain
And sweet melodies singe ache near Tenerife
One So sincere
You are moved to respond in kind
The kind suffused with the energy of reciprocity and love
One so liberating
It strips away the darkness of trauma
Ushering in salvation carried on the legs of peace
One so illuminating
All you see is light after it hits the tympanum
A “thank you” dipped in the vat of therapy
Whisking you on an unending journey of catharsis
Gliding smoothly on the wings of meaning
Flay me, hang me out to dry like the husks of corn
But at least let my soles feel the warmth of the sun whenever I hear it
Let me always express with sinewed honesty
A “thank you” that embodies everything it was meant to be
Obrigado, Danke, Merci, Arigato, Grazie, Medaase, Oyiwala don, Akpe, Xièxiè, Gracias, dhanyavaad, go raibh maith agat, shkran lak
In every language known to man
Say it and please
Mean it
Thank you
