For Those Who Feel Left Out
The ray of sun the clouds cannot contain
I wish for you
The bountiful harvest already safely gathered
I wish for you
The realization that loneliness is only a thought
I wish for you
If a Thanksgiving dinner won't be on your table
If neither family nor friends will be gathered around
If loneliness protests its reality
and carries the jury
may the love find you
that goes far beyond
that is over and under and less than and more than
and perfectly equal to
everything you don't have
and all that you do
The bounty is unborn
The thanks are self-existing
The night cannot hold out
against the light
Open your arms in the space
Open your mind in the space
Relax in what was never alone or together.
Be well. Please be well.
