The Power of Thank You

When I say thank you it feels like my mind changes, it feels like my spirit changes. ~ Jhe T

Magic words, they call them,
please, thank you. But not, I think,
as perceived by most who hear the sounds.
The spell points back to the one who speaks,
charming not he who hears
but she who pauses to share them
bringing joy and peace, a side effect —
no, more than that! A symptom
inevitably rising as the syllables
slip past the lips.
