  1. A couple of twigs of holiday poetree, for Thanx/Mourning Day :)


    Giving Thanx


    While feeling sacred on this All Hallow's Day,
    I also feel pangs of the hungry, so wrought by
    The profane, for the food wasted by us could feed
    All the world's.... Yet, betwixt,
    In the mundane it's only hurled.

    Allowing our thoughts on our forbearers,
    And a drink returned to the earth for them, as they,
    The dearly departed, are us as well, we discern,
    The depth of one's sorrow is the well's fathom
    Of meanings and moments shared with them.

    Thus, manners in which doings, not doings are done
    Or aren't, brings life, light to them, or it doesn't.
    For grace, just a word, can't be sought, it seeks you.
    As words, while paths of study, can't lead to oneself,
    For, intellect can not lead, as life does not follow.





    Another Thanx/Mourning Day


    I am thankful for,
    The wonder of our
    Morning star’s rise,
    And it’s setting
    Within our eyes,
    On this Beauty Way
    We build each day
    With great surprise.


    Native’s compassion taught
    Pilgrims at Plymouth
    How to live within, give to,
    Nature’s abundance.
    That providence sowed
    Reaped graces’ harvest,
    Fraternity, bearing
    Fruits to this day.


    We gave Native America genocide, Earthocide.
    Chief Seattle said, “no one can own the land”.
    Bowing to Above and Below, for gifts bestowed,
    Giving, may we, again, walk that way.
    While giving thanx
    This full Moon’s day,
    There, but for the grace
    Of God, Great Spirit, go I.


    Copy, share as you will. Thanx for all you do :) reality
