I offer nothing:

empty skies,
fallow fields.

I give freely-

and ask only
nothing in return:

open roads,
birdsong.

Lovely...

The best way to receive blessings is to give without expecting them.

Thanks for this.

Nan,
in offering nothing, you provide everything. Good job.

a good commitee can decimate communication.

Rich, thoughtful brain wears a plain jacket.

It covers all.
enjoyed and it will remain in my mind.

Quite captivating in its shortness and clarity.
These are the best terms.
Love,

Howdy, Pilgrim! Your terms and poem are simply stated, however, they are very 'ponderable'. lol

May your life path be an open road filled with birdsong!

Loving hug,
Linda

Thanks so much guys.  And a special thanks to Lynne for bringing it up where people could see it.   I was depressed that no one thought it was good enough to comment on.
