Day After Thanksgiving

Day After Thanksgibing
               ~~Fantasia of Life~~
                    Previous Title



Ah,the day after turkey was one of limitless joy.
Looking at photos with my daughter and her charming boy. 



Scenes of my Mom in her last days on earth in bed.
And photos of my past fifteen cats danced in my hands and head.



Such feline beauties that slept in my plush bed!
It reminded me of the fantasia of life, both past and present ahead.


I see a far more mature woman today!
But still one, creative and thoughtful and still loves to frolic and play.


Tonight, in multi-colored candlelight and no solitude, 
I can, as that candle melt and fade like a rainbow right into you.
