What I see; What I don't feel

See,

I look out onto the deck across the white chairs and railing...

onto the green grass and over to the trees now nearly bare,

leaves floating around with the bit of breeze that is out there...

I sense and feel excitement for Thanksgiving.

It is a feeling of home...way back when....

when there were people around

Then I turn around to face the inside of this house

and find that there is no one there.

The excitement dwindles away from my being.

and there is no end in sight.

And it continues...
