Thanksgiving marks the time of year where we, as a collective, celebrate life with family and friends.

Thanksgiving Deferred
=== === === I bless Thee, Lord, who hast restored my sight;Where were my thanks through all my years of light? Thou liftest me again; Thy praise I tell;Where was my gratitude before I fell? Thou healest me; glad thanks to Thee belong;Alas, my thankless heart when I was strong! My fetters Thou dost loose;Continue reading “Thanksgiving Deferred”
A Gift
Who is that creature and who does he want? Me, I trust. I do not attempt to call out his name for fear he will tread on me. What do you believe, he asks. That we all want to be alone, I reply, except when we do not; that the world was open to myContinue reading “A Gift”

Understanding if you got it, Otherwise I’ll do without it! When my bones are stiff and aching, And my feet won’t climb theContinue reading “On Aging”
Soul Mining
Your floating down a tunnel In a little wooden box Your cold and your lonely and enveloped in fog You’ve been prized open and left here to die You should’ve trusted your instincts ‘Cause they don’t tell lies … Something always goes wrong when things are going right You’ve swallowed your pride To quell theContinue reading “Soul Mining”
Missed Time
My notebook has remained blank for months thanks to the light you shower around me. I have no use for my pen, which lies languorously without grief. Nothing is better than to live a storyless life that needs no writing for meaning— when I am gone, let others say they lost a happy man, thoughContinue reading “Missed Time”
I went to thank Her
I went to thank Her— But She Slept— Her Bed—a funneled Stone— With Nosegays at the Head and Foot— That Travellers—had thrown— Who went to thank Her— But She Slept— ‘Twas Short—to cross the Sea— To look upon Her like—alive— But turning back—’twas slow— Written By Emily Dickinson
Gratitude to the Unknown Instructors
