Thanksgiving

Simple introspective take on Thanksgiving.

Gratitude

A wanderer finds a path ~

actually, maybe he was led

to said path. 

Gratitude

A guide joins his solitude ~

rather, his solace

 welcomed a guide.

Gratitude

 

"Alone" is an illusion~

expectations block consciousness

birthing disillusion.

Gratitude 

Intention's compass is not "true north ~

integrity bubbles a spring,

ocean bound. 

Gratitude

Aligned ~

attuned and ethereal;

content to be.

This poem is so serene. Filled with a feeling of the writer being grounded and content. Happy for what he has and knowing he is in the place he belongs. Wonderful work. Lydi**

Ah... Such a blessing to see your smile today and receive your kind words. You are so right, but I would consider maybe it is actually finally, "belonging where I am", for I will continue this journey.
Thank you Lydi.

I find my gratitude living next to 57,000 plus men who never returned from Vietnam.

Thank you for the comment. I personally thank every veteran I meet. Even if I have politics views opposing certain military decisions, the men who sacrificed deserve respect and honor. Well said.

"content to be"

expectations do birth disillusion....some go through life on a narrow path of expectations, never grateful for what they actually have...what did sheryl crow sing.."it's not having what you want, it's needing what you've got" or something similar to that...

love the actually, rather, and the way you used them in the theme.

Thank you for seeing my heart and intention here Jacob. I think her song says, "it's wanting what you got". Yes, truth from our foundations...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

oh yes, it's not needing what you want, it's wanting what you've got...that's it...

Beautifully rich and full of meaning, dear poet. Sown with a poetic hymn of abundant heart to which the universe hums :)

Thank you. Not my typical style... Was unsure how it might read. You give me hope. 😀
