Gifting Today
Attract them
with tomorrow
but give them today
Entrance them
with verses
that pause and delay
The moment
resplendent
divorcing from time
To marry
with wonder
— those hoping to find

gifting more than gold
the lake's clear crystal
belies the ice hold's brittle
grasp yet I'm blissful
the springtime's warm sun
will quickly disperse the fun
blossoms have begun
in hearts young and old
flirts and flirting growing bold
gifting more than gold
summer's golden sun
brings forth the bursting blossoms
as lovers embrace
beneath the bowers
sweet youngsters are holding hands
with time and pleasure
slipping towards dusk

Gifting wings
My wretched soul so twisted by self doubt,
malingered on false words and fragrant lie.
Through turbulence and ever-endless drought,
in hushed distress, my inner child did cry.
Yet fervent help did temper my despair,
injecting hope to heal my restless soul.
Allowing one the time for self repair,
absolving fixed beliefs like burn-ed coal.
So ransomed was my life by guilt and

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

Re-Gifting
I desire, into this world,
to be the bearer of many gifts;
to create, share and teach.
Everyone on this planet, is a teacher
and a student of life; all beings;
our special talents are precious, shared gifts.
To all within this realm, this world;
to all students and teachers,
I thank you for sharing your gifts.
To this world, I will re-gift the

Saying Sorry To Birthday Girl
I believe in friends, and forgiveness by way of overkill
so I ran swiftly over, carrying my Minnie Mouse skateboard still.
You could have ridden it, she said, coming to the door.
as I slid in brownies, cookies, pumpkin pie, and other goodies galore.
I am an dunderhead, an idiot, the worst friend of all, I began to beg.
She

Gifting Sight
There just below the surface,
more present than you know
A prophetic Jeremiah,
tracks leading through the snow
His message serves to buttress,
those standing in the light
A pipeline to eternity,
—his vision gifting sight

Gifting Away
Want to return,
to unknowing, the
trap door.
Filling up the gaps,
the arrow slits. No more
I will need weapons.
Trespassing the,
brutality of sin, committed
against the sanctity?
of body. This is how
I am re-creating myself
without morbidity.
Annihilation , was not
the answer. I am holding
the gold leaves of sun.

Gifting
O viola,
go over the grapes
and find an ageless green.
It is difficult
to be born
again, undoing death.
You swoon
at the continuity
of crossroads –
with blue flags
in your bowl.
A rosette,
without a winner.
A birthday gift
for all the failures.
At seventy five
you walk over a prairie
to find a shade.

Gifting a Dream
You're driving across the mysterious lands,
You're making your way to the sea and the shore.
Let go of the wheel and stretch out your hands -
Your secret desires will call you for more.
Midnight in July.
The boundless sky.
The signs in the violet mist.
The red and green lights
That shine through the nights
To show you dream islands exist.
The island

Say my name tonight and always
Call me when your heart does need
Let me know your great desires
Provide your love, for then I’ll feed
Waste not, any single minute
Time’s of the essence, let’s live now
Hearts entwine right at this moment
We’ll gift each other, as hearts allow

Sturdy Gifting
The gift of prophecy holds my thoughts
to discern the wickedness all around.
I am blessed with many gifts in my life
that God gave me with obedience.
I battled the spirit of fear for a long while
and God delivered me from his craftiness.
Now when he is near I can feel his little threat
and reveal his attacking presence quickly.
