Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme is Thanksgiving, which is celebrated on November 23.
Today’s poem is a Thanksgiving poem about getting more we
give.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Tides return the favors they have taken,
Having had sufficient time to turn.
All enjoy more riches than they earn,
Nor need surrender what they have forsaken.
Kindness, like a candle caught in mirrors,
Sees itself in infinite regress,
Giving that keeps giving its largesse,
Imitating what it has been given.
Vast and bountiful, creation shimmers,
Intimate in ways we cannot know.
Nor do we fail to glean more than we sow,
Granted light that glows down to its embers.
