Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello everyone!
Just wanted to drop a quick
note to wish all my readers
a Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope that everyone has someone
to share it with. No matter how
small. Try to be with someone
even if you can't share a big meal.
Just being with someone no matter
what you have, is so important!
You will be in my prayers, and I will
be wishing only the best for everyone.

To all, Happy Thanksgiving!!

Winter

The cold frost blankets everywhere,
lets me know that winter's here.
The coats are heavy,
the socks are warm,
still I stand shivering out there.

I dredge through the snow,
while hiding my face,
wishing for warmth, this is not my place.

From one pile to another,
the snow accumulates,
it's lasting more than I can take.

Winter's arrived, and it's here to stay,
back in the trenches, my shovel retraces.

Taken for granted

You give of yourself
in hopes to please others,
and in return, they forget your there..

The excuses come easy,
plausible enough in the way that it's given.
your not expected to think otherwise..

You weren't needed,
why would you be summoned...
in the wake of thought,
time has past, and no longer reason.

Into another day we walk,
why are you mad? they ask
no need to explain myself.

The differences between ourselves,
forever torment my mind.
I'll give of myself again,
for that's who I am, and of whom I'll always rely.

The Sea

The depths of the sea
claim endlessly,
Alive with wonders
I have not seen.

A world of it's own,
creating order by nature alone.
The life that lives within,
takes part in structuring..

Survival for some,
may end as quick as it comes.
The freedom in which enables others,
time passage.

The amazing wonders
the sea has offering,
and the teachings it gives us,
both treacherous and forgiving.

The holidays are approaching fast.
Making plans for Thanksgiving.
This is my favorite time of the year!
You just have to remember to take things
one step at a time.
Don't allow the holidays to stress you out.
Breathe deeply and remain calm.
Take a look around you, and see the joy that
the small things bring into your life.
In the end, all things work out well all on their own.
We get so caught up in the "rush" and trying to
out do ourselves with gifts etc. that we miss
what it is all about.
So try not to get "as" mad at the person in line taking
forever...or the person that stole your parking spot.
or the store that didn't order enough of the product you
wanted in time.
Because in the end, we all blame it on the holidays!
And it's not the holidays that's at fault...
We all put the pressure on ourselves.
Have some faith, and do the best you can.
Relax and breathe deeply, take one for the team!
And then just sit back and watch the magic grow...
Money controls and dictates our lives...
but it can't take away our precious moments
that unfold right in front of our eyes.
It can be a comment from a small child. One
you least expected to hear. Something that teaches you.
It puts everything...back into perspective!
So if it's only about sharing one make shift Christmas dinner
with your friends and/or family, making the gifts that you
give because you couldn't afford to buy them.
Or sharing your food with someone less fortunate,
Please make time to "see" what the holidays are
really all about and enjoy what you have.
Wishing you all the best of the coming holidays!

Test of Time

I think of you from time to time,
the essence that caught my eye,
the slight mistakes that buried me,
you expelled them upon me so easily.

Was it calculated in your mind?
I wonder how I was so blind...
The deceit that one creates,
never justifies until it is too late.

I think of you from time to time,
rummaging through the devils gate,
Kindness tried to compensate,
imitating loves debate.

No use for you,
I sheltered from,
the wounds which made me dumb.

I think of you from time to time,
how I'm glad that it is done.

Unconsciousness

Into the darkness,
there comes light,
awakening your soul tonight.

Wandering thoughts,
escape me not...
face to face,
I seek them out.

Fascination flirting in plight,
abort these trivial,
attempts to fight.

Quivering, I stand still,
not a muscle to move,
weak with all my might.

Into the darkness,
there comes light!
