sun’s
cascade
high spirits
trees on a hill
live lemony leaves
untroubled by darkness
inconsequential small world
worries pandering to the depths
the forest too bright and blithe to cry
hallelujah mount leads to heaven's gate
god had a nightcap
after creating the earth
and moonshine poured forth
By
David Kavanagh
Vehicles, muscled cars were built, to be fast;
creatures of iron and steel;
the wildest beasts.
In the day of manufactured power, Lynx and Jaguar raced; thunderbirds flew low to ground with wings,
as fast as, a road runner.
The mighty Chevy of “57” dreams;
leant compassions ear to young Edsel,
when he failed his popularity test.
Lightening swift, these darts did fly;
racing down, route “66” back then,
the pride supported its own.
Metal, mega-mammals, like all others;
live and die their last wheeze and cough,
recorded by the crusher.
Those who signed away body parts;
the donors left a re-built legacy.
Beautiful and powerful, as their ancestors;
legacy lives on but, route “66” is a much milder path.
In Heaven’s showroom;
lion and lamb lie, side-by-side;
these are the souls of the metal mammals.
Looked up recipes
Making plans ahead of time
Happy Thanksgiving!
Will cook up good shtuff!
Delish dishes on my mind
Happy Thanksgiving!
Grateful for today
Preparing the meal - a treat!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Give thanks to the Lord
Give thanks to all the people
To those who earn it!
Can't wait for the food
Thankful for this holiday~
Can't wait for the love
Give thanks to loved ones
Welcome in, autumn good vibes
Happy Thanksgiving!
No room for sorrow
I daydream as fall leaves drift
Happy Thanksgiving!
My High Spirits lift
The sun will shine and we'll dine
Happy Thanksgiving!
Life is like the dance of a flame
Breathing out smoke as the moments change
Fleeing chaotically from your name
Knowing not where it goes or whence it came
Until the mind blows it out
And only the luminous darkness remains
