Thanksgiving

Greeted by the aroma

Of sage and cinnamon

Coffee and cake, turkey and herbs,

Potatoes and yams,

Comfort and joy.

Woodsmoke and leaves,

Clear sky, fresh air.

Welcome home.

Embrace, sit,

Holds hands and say grace.

Thank you God for . . .

Words tumble end over end,

Then awed silence.

Gratitude.

Bright sunlight until twilight.

Candlelight.

Thankful to be together.
