The Gift

The Gift

We take the embers of life and torch them into oceans of allurement and reverie

Prose forming into lava, drenching, engulfing all that is vile and abhorrent in reality

Breathing essence where there is no soul, seeing beauty where others’ see only pain

Some say, this river is a deluge of delirium, a torment from far deep within the ardor

But, this bequest has given wings to fly where birds dare not, fins to swim into the abyss

A bestowal of uniqueness, an acquittal of rapture, and a display of a lonely fragile heart

Hey CARON!!.~ This swept me away into its VERY "close to my heart" intent!! ....to me it came as a writer observing poetically that which passes through the minds eye & immediate environment of the author....... with a swimmingly well delivered set of phrasing...... speaking to the ability to choose the beauty in life.... rather than wallow in the negativity that is most assuredly a part of the ballet that we call life....... you are natural born poet...... and I am a fan!!......ALL STARS...... well done sweet poetess!!........T xo
