"Does anyone else miss how it once was / When it seemed things might get better somehow?"

Thoughts on Thanksgiving Day MMVII

A good day by nature bad day by choice
The cruel architecture of the mind
Walls in my freedom denies me my voice
To feel passed over or else left behind
And wonder aloud about it at last

I become less sure of reality
The more I stand up stumbling from the past
Out of the nothingness hoping to be

Does anyone else miss how it once was
When it seemed things might get better somehow?
I wonder about that a lot because
I feel lonelier than ever right now
And wishing I had a community

All is plastic and made in China for
The likes of me and maybe you (the poor)
But I felt less thankful when I had more

Amen, Steven. The more you have, seems the less compassionate people are, unless it's to make a name for themselves (look what *I* did). I pray I never get that shallow. A powerful message, here.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Hope you have/had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Thankfulness looks at the joys you have had and forgetting the heartbreaks, whatever they may be.
Wonderful write.
God Bless,
Lew
