I am a poet, author and transcriber of words ecstatic. I have published Wild Joy:Ruminations, Journey Into Oneness and Upon Your Canvas.
Your Words Gift Wrapped
I found a package on my doorstep,
while trying to remember if I needed
to let the dog out again, only to realize
that I have cats not dogs and they
are the indoor variety. Nevertheless,
there was the box wrapped in an old
Monet print that you had discarded
for some unknown reason. I carefully
peeled back the tape, thinking maybe
I could rescue and rehang the print.
What a surprise! Inside the box,
carefully chosen I imagined, were
the words you had long ago decided
to gift to me when you thought I was ready.
While I do appreciate your thoughtfulness,
I do not yet know if I am ready to put
these wonderful syllables into their proper
syntax and regift them to you, like
a holiday white elephant present,
I might have discarded- save for
an occasion just like this one.
