Happy Thanksgiving… #MLMM #Wordle 297 #Poetry

Don’t do it, don’t count 
the droplets on your window
Wait for the family to arrive
They are an unexpected gift in life
A reason for thanksgiving, for celebration
I brush away the dark reality
where the black butterfly lives
In my head, tormenting my waking hours
Vigorous dusting of my thoughts
took longer than I expected
I decided to make the day memorable
Finally, I can predict a happy new year…

    A wonderful way to describe what seems to be (I may be wrong) depression, a black butterfly. A lovely poem.
