Seasonal helms of thanksgiving; a boatswain’s oar,
Steady decks of cruise-ships tossed in life’s candor.
Unspoken kindness; compassion’s dwindling paddle
Reaps a surging ocean ride on discomfort’s saddle.
Blanket might-have-beens; driftwood to the soul,
Wring moisture from the leaves in comfort’s bowl.
Philosopher’s stones rubbing the sands of the wise,
Return diamonds as grace clasps in strings of pearls.
Lovely! ๐๐
