Happy Thanksgiving, verse # 16

Happy Thanksgiving…

As autumn winds whistle a happy tune,
sorting through leaves of red and orange,
a leaf takes flight, traveling on the winds as it gracefully soars,
dancing along its journey, its partner the spirit of peace,
and as it travels away, I wonder if it’s traveling to you,
preparing to land near a foot or float unseen into a woolen pocket
or fall into a freshly raked pile of autumn color,
transporting the message from an old friend
that hopes that you have a joyful holiday
with many memories of many reasons for you to be
dancing with the spirit of thankfulness.
