The Gift

You are the gift

Of skin

Of bone

Of eyes

Of ears

Of nose

Of body

And mind.

You are the gift

Of lust

Of want

Of pain

Of joy

Of fear

Of hope

And need.

You are the gift

Of rain

Of wind

Of fire

Of soil

Of lake

Of root

And tree.

You are the gift

Of moon

Of sun

Of star

Of sky

Of fog

Of mist

And wish.

You are the gift

Of here

Of now

Of life

Of thus

Of one

Not two,

Of “we.”

You are the gift

Of glee

Of yes

Of love

Of vow

Of holy

Of form

And day-to-day.

About the Creator

I have a background in chemistry and a love of nature. One of my greatest teachers proclaimed that creativity is our birthright. I’m here to actualize that in myself.
