Too many suicides . Thought it was time Thanksgiving included all our hopes and dreams, not just the pleasant ones. There is always darkness, yet one can still careen through life and find joy in existence.

Salmonville Thanksgiving

thankful for being neither rich nor poor
thankful for just being alive
thankful for being able to ignore
the platitudes and lies
long long days
short short weeks
all along the only way
driving along a lost corniche
thankful for still being here
thankful for friends and family
thankful for those i hold dear
through love and life and memories
long long days
short short weeks
it's still enough to say
we believe in life and peace
a day of reminiscing
a day of auld lang syne
a day for somehow believing
"everything will be alright"
it's still enough to stay
to simply exist that way
a day of festive feasting
a day of camaraderie
a day of hope and feeling
lessening collective misery
long long days
short short weeks
it's still enough to stay
to simply exist, to be
it's still enough to say
we believe in life and peace
