Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

Gifting

silence
the gift of time
a wink
a strike
that lights a candle

a breath
that bops a gong
a smile
that rings a bell
a mind
that stirs a chime
that stops
and listens
till the very last sound wave

travels
resonates
through air
giving
the gift of time
one precious moment
eternity in a capsule

Rhona Mcferran June 19, 2019 at 7:50 PM This is terrific, and reminds me of the need I have to be more "present" (no pun intended), in the moment. Time spent with loved ones truly is a gift! ;) FAV!! Line Gauthier June 19, 2019 at 9:14 PM Thanks for your lovely visit, comment and compliment, Rhona.

Gershon Wolf June 18, 2019 at 5:55 PM I like the way you start with a word---and you build a universe. Nice! :) gw Line Gauthier June 18, 2019 at 7:28 PM Thank you so much for your lovely visit and comment, Gershon.

Caren Krutsinger June 18, 2019 at 3:39 PM The gift of time is something I never thought about before, and now, after four weeks of pain, I realize that after feeling I have WASTED four precious weeks, time is all we have. Line Gauthier June 18, 2019 at 7:28 PM Very wise, my friend.
