Nature’s Thanksgiving Feast

The day of Thanks is upon us, and nature tells a story of gratitude and growth. In Nature’s Thanksgiving Feast, a poem by Marie Helen, we see birds, squirrels, and small creatures alike, gather together to feast on a quintessentially autumn fruit, a pomegranate. A small part of nature’s bountiful harvest that has ripened to feed us all. Sharing their found treasure of a beautiful and nutritious fruit in natural harmony. May you too have a wonderful Thanksgiving with the ones you hold dear, and may all of you be blessed with peace, harmony and gratitude. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Autumn wafts it’s auburn breezes around, 
Leaves like turning pages, change green to brown.
Paint a story of abundance and growth,
Treasured harvest to birds and squirrels both.
Crimson bulb, filled with sweet ruby gems;
Dangles ornately amidst long tree’s stems.
No false airs or magical trickery, 
Just growth, at its utmost simplicity.
The prize shines in midday’s sun, as chirps ring,
A bountiful harvest makes nature sing.
Small creatures gather for a festive meal;
Grateful to share sweet fruit, to bitter peel.
Joining to feast in harmony and peace,
May natural serenity never cease.
