a warm day, colorful decorations,
a day of gathering, laughter and joyous
music

such a day exists in dreams
for thanksgiving day was always and
empty house
everything about that day was empty
no food or family everything Grey
laughter turned to silence and once

happy music now plain and sad
for many they get that joyous dream
the oh so special day
but for others thanksgiving had
always been and Empty day
a waste of time and space
no fall leaves or colorful
decorations, just a dark home, of
complete and utter isolation
for many places I had been
given many invitations,
but that doesn’t heal my pain
and separation
Laughter and music, with lots of
decorations, family with family
gathered but were all strange faces

but ill stay here in this sad
deep sensation, enjoying my lonely
Empty thanksgiving.
