Thanksgiving

Poems

all of them knowing

27NOV25

to show gratitude

learn to rumble
like bigfoot in the trees
and to be humble
it will set you free

the wind is blowing
through the big dudes
all of them knowing
to show gratitude

through the banks
flows the river
along with the thanks
we all deliver

and all of us
know along the way
it shouldn't just
be on this day

near the year's end
ready for the sequel
like our big friends
knowing all are equal

Happy Thanksgiving!

Poems

maybe just the illusion

21NOV25

of being in control

is ignorance a blessing
some how more kind
not wrecking or messing
with a closed mind

a silverware setting
a perfect table
safer not letting
horses out of the stable

a door closed
a candle unlit
maybe wisdom knows
we couldn't handle it

we drink the Kool-Aid
on top of the heap
a decision has been made
that prop we get to keep

some confusion
in the soul
maybe just the illusion
of being in control

the flag that blows
in freedom's winds
that flag knows
some big friends

I am still in the holler of my youth this morning. As I walk through the mountains and the memories that they hold I become more aware of what a special place this is for me. The motorcycles that we trailered in from Lexington KY, the GoPro, and the drone are all kind of like paintbrushes that I will use to try to paint them for you in the upcoming months. Hopefully you will be able to make sense out of what I come up with.

At this point I will probably stay through the weekend and return to Louisville on Monday morning. I want to try to avoid some of the Thanksgiving traffic.

I hope you have a great Friday!

SMILE : )
