“Give thanks, with a grateful heart.” Michelle Liew

***********************************************************

Frost creeps

Hearth light wanes dim

A dark shadow sweeps in,

An uninvited, ghostly guest,

Who waits.

***********************************************************

Years past,

They set his plate

Gratitude resounding.

Now their greed cries, their squabbles ring

She’s gone.

***********************************************************

She stirs,

A solemn wraith,

Her voice an icy breeze,

“Your feast fades when your souls grow cold-”

Take care.”

***********************************************************

Her words

echo off the walls,

“Fill this place with great heart.

Take heed that heartfelt thanks always

Finds space."
