Such a Gift

From the pen flows a song It’s melody gives wings to words, Wafting upward and outward across space Harmonic strains In notes of Praise Resonate full and deep Suspended toward the clouds Oh, that I could write such a gift. From the pen comes a verse Poetry in whispery words that Linger along the margins Enticing, inviting, engaging Souls merging, Rising to the summit in Measured motions Oh, that I could write such a gift. From the pen comes written words, Designed expression most basic Powerful prose gives voice to passion, A need too compelling to be denied. So mighty that the pen moved of its own will Oh, that I could write such a gift. Before recorded word took form Yearning moved within the human heart And of it’s own volition, there arose an utterance so new, so raw, so absolute, It would not be held. Rather it rose up and off the tongue In boundless Joy and Gratitude to the Creator Oh, that I might be worthy of such a gift!
