Disappeared (Psalm 37:36)

“But he passed away, and behold, he was no more; though I sought him, he could not be found.”


The Thanksgiving feast

was days in the making:

dreaming, planning,

shopping, sorting, 

chopping, grating, 

pulling out the finest china,

washing glasses, special sauces 

marinating, kneading, baking, 

choosing seating, 

tasting, basting, 

pasting, calling 

all to come to

 the sumptuous meal 

with all the arduous 

detailed preparation 

finally finished!

(Every bit of it disappeared

in less than twenty minutes.)
