The Gift

Yesterday I gave, and in the giving
Knew all of Life in one short taste
Of ecstacy...that made a flowered glory
Bloom in desert waste!

Today the buds lie sere and brown,
In hopeless drouth expired...
And grief walks 'mid the dead with me
Whose gift was undesired.

Oh, very well done! Loved every word, this has a classic feel to it as I read it. I enjoyed it very much.

With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free..
