The semiquaver dances across the keys
To no particular tempo at all
Each tentative note resounding
Yet concealing the fate that might befall
Over the sharps and flats
The semiquaver quivers
Approaching the blacks and whites
With necessary and newfound cautiousness
The semiquaver continues dancing
Bar to bar it has to follow
There is no rest in the horizon
The tune is meant to be prestissimo

It's Thanksgiving's today. Terese had invited Dustin, so he and I bought a bottle of Martini for the dinner.
The spread was nothing less than awesome. After a hearty meal that was topped off with pear and pumpkin pie, and gelato, we formed a cozy little circle and took turns sharing what we are thankful for.
Most of us were thankful for the usual blessings: family, friends, health, a new job... Among us was Gilbert, who was born in 1923. He simply said, in his softspoken manner, that he was grateful for being able to wake up the next morning. Once again I'm amazed by his vitality and outlook in life. I have a soft spot for silver haired people.
As for me, I said "I'm thankful for being happy and lucky", which just about summarizes what I feel and have experienced.
I am truly thankful for all that I have, although I want more sometimes :)
