YOUR GREATEST GIFT TO ME
1 July 2011

You are the magic of the morning,
the passion of the midday sun
and the solace of the night sky
and of all your gifts to me,
the one I treasure the most
is
your trust,

and I will revere it
with my forest-air breath,
the meandering pathways of my mind,
the ocean-floor depth of my soul
and my spirit that touches the Heavens.

Owl - I love your open declaration of fidelity which is something we should all adhere to more these days. In any relationship, trust is a biggee. This was crafted with heart, visual intensity and is a gift for the reader to enjoy Owl. You can trust in that too! Namyh

Thank you, Namyh. Yes, the world would be a better, kinder place if there was more mutual and deserved trust. Thank you for your kind words and particular smiles at your last sentence.

Thank you, Sue, for your kind words.

This is what happens when you travel Nirvana paths on the journey to Shambala.

This is what you write to tell about it.

This is good poetry.

Thank you, Bruce, for your kind words.

Thank you, Brad. Lucky, maybe, but whilst someone's trust is a gift, one has to work hard, yet gently, to earn it, and it isn’t always an easy road.

Thanks, Ford. Nirvana paths are sometimes rough and hidden, and Shambala not easy to find or reach - one has to be constantly working at it - but when reaching it, even for a moment, it can be worth it.

Thank you, Ruth.  Smiling back and love you too!

Thank you, Yann.  Wow!

Thank you, ebonygirl and welcome (once again) to the Pip pages!  Yes, when somebody places their trust in me, I treat it as a fragile and precious heirloom.

Thank you, Michael, for your kind words.  Yes trust is indeed precious.

Thank you, Bruce.  Smiling.
