Thanksgiving's Substance

“Thanksgiving’s Substance” (Internal rhyme) T-hanks my soul for everlasting life, I am freed from mind’s strife, H-eavenly Godly material, Love’s faith ethereal, A-ngels appear as human flowers, they are of God’s powers N-ever a thanksgiving cheer, without paranormal is clear, K-ingships of which no strong winds, torments mustered of strife thus ends, S-aving grace is thus evenly spaced, of Love’s happiness face, G-iving honor not receiving, Love’s faith is in believing, I-n core of a Godly being, is consciousness of seeing, G-iving I am offering thanks, from love’s river of life’s banks, I-n giving blessed gratitude, I shall give in multitude, N-o more of storm clouds shall arise, as the illusion subsides, G-od’s gift given all of Himself, reception is all that is left! D-ocile of love’s complete bliss, by the Master Wisdom’s sweet kiss, A-re illusions of prehensile self, as carnal mind I shelf, Y-es, thanksgivings complete, as my new persona love I greet! For Contest: Thankgiving Day In Honor of Dane Ann smith Johnsen

Dear John, you already "give in multitude," bringing your faith and inspiration to all of us. This is a fabulous Thanksgiving acrostic -- so uplifting. I especially like the way you speak of angels as "human flowers" of God's powers. Excellent use of the internal rhyme in every line! Best wishes in Dane Ann's contest, my friend. Love, Carolyn
