Thankfulness is a candle
Lighting another candle
And another candle–
Giving sun a rise at midnight
brighter than brightest
warm, light–but not scorching.
A masterpiece of art,
In which,
the face
Is a pristine canvass
Of day and night crescents.
Soft supple rosy pair of clouds
Envelop nose,
Embossing, illuminating
On both sides;
On all sides–
Heaven reigns inside–
–Where good thoughts
Are pink mists in cloud nine
And in moments in time, they become confetti of presents tag “To thankfulness, the new kind.”
–Where snows and precipitations
Are fallen intruders lost in commotions;
Who’d quick abandon their pry–
For the cold natured will never stand
The warmth of joy—
The very climate inside–
The royal,
Yet humbled kingdom
Of a thankful person.
The sore angry ungrateful’,
Is but a crumpled paper,
Empty, wrinkled,
Tossed by its own filthy angst–
Trashed without regard–
Didn’t even made it to can–sad!
