thanksgiving poem called this is for you

i am thankful

for days that have not yet been

and dreams

dreams just waiting to begin

and songs

love songs i have not heard

and the one day that reconciles here and there

and every where that leads me

closer to home

because home

is where my restless heart belongs

every footstep recognized

and every bluebird song.

heard before

but not there

in this current blink

of thanksgiving time

and I am so thankful

for all that is seen

but not yet

not yet

i wait and wait

because i never forget

once upon a time

do you

and do you

ever consider skies

that never seem to end

so incredibly blue
