LIBER PENNAE PRAENUMBRA

12. Behold, He spreads His pinions yet in flight, showering and shaking forth the Golden Light upon the hearts of men. And wherein doth He fly, and by what means? The Feather and the Air are his to ride, to bear HIm ever in His GO-ing.

I think the beginning of Walt Whitman's Song of Myself counts.

Alexa, Why Am I Falling Apart
~ Kelli Russell Agodon

I'm sorry, I don't know Why Am I Falling Apart, but I have Remedy for a broken heart. / Sometimes, it's easier to give thanks, praise what went right.

Whitman can sometimes be concise—& this short praise-poem of his is one that speaks to me in my country’s current situation. Link to a short musical performance of this poem from the Parlando Project: https://frankhudson.org/2019/11/11/when-i-peruse-the-conquerd-fame/
