The Great Pumpkin

The Most Sincere Pumpkin Patch! (1966 Peanuts)

My persistent therapist insists that I listen
to my wide eyed innocent innermost child
who still believes that wishes and magic exist.

The tissues pile up as I work through issues
I almost forgot I had - now I am truly sad.
So I stop going - there's peace in not knowing
a happy pig really isn't that bad.

Until one frozen cold, sober October 
I take the kids out hunting for pumpkins.
Then I remember the magic's still out there
I just forgot where to look.

  1. there is a peace at times in not knowing....in not dealing with our issues...a false peace, but peace non the less...i hope there is still magic in the world...

  2. Yes, there's still magic out there. Somewhere. But it's getting harder and harder to find.
