Guided by candle light
shadows can come alive
recording blessings being
comforted by using very
wise owl's quill writing
thoughts long after pen
of consciousness runs
dry lest forgetting any
blessings taken for
granted and forgotten

We owe this to
~Victims~
of Hurricane Sandy
~and Ourselves~
"If you are worried and you can't sleep just count your blessings instead of sheep and you'll fall asleep counting your blessings!" I know that is from a song in the movie White Christmas but I am not sure who wrote it. You remind me it is so very important to count, and remember our blessings. Thank you. Lovely write. My prayers for Sandy victims. Be well, Kathy

We hear so much about counting our blessing, but it is true! Our health, what is in our hearts and using whatever means to get through
"hard times." One of your Best, Vivian!

I do like that pen of consciousness running dry line. Quite an original expression of the theme. The piece has an appropriately thoughtful feel to it as well.
Lady Vivian, You are always so proper and sweet. I love you.
Peace, love and light,
Amber

An old adage used to be "out of sight, out of mind"... but we would do well to hold our memories of precious times past, not to be repeated, as though they were yet with us in this present time, and if present laughter be hard to come by, present sorrows must yet yield to gladder times and happier tomorrows. Good write, and much more of a provocative blend of thought than we see at first sight! Once again, your imagery is as vivid as the content you provide, and we are content to have you provide, dear Vivian.
There is a sign that is a favorite of mine. The sign reads "There is always, always, always something to be thankful for." Your poem expresses that thought so well; most of us do not even realize our mainifold blessings and those that do are a blessing to others. You and your poem are a blessing to the writers here on Authors Den. Well done!
