The Gift I had a gift bestowed on me That came so UN expectantly It had grown into fantasy It followed me in shadows keep Unaware and half asleep I’d lost expectance of it’s reap For sand had worn its very prime Sanded down its edge in time And I was almost deaf the chime But I am happy with the gift It took me to the stars in lift And now I’ve let the phantom drift For I am grateful for the send Before I go around the bend It dignifies my very end Alas poor spirit in its spell This lacking of my earthly dwell I knew it well. I knew it well. |

For I am grateful for the send Before I go around the bend It dignifies my very end Alas poor spirit in its spell This lacking of my earthly dwell I knew it well. I knew it well. =========================== Ahhhh...I see shadows of Poe tip toeing about  So much of you is about dignity and I for one am grateful to have had this chance to witness your many gifts.  *ww*    |

Kaoru It is a common thing, thank you. JM, Randy said you might be the gift. Perhaps, perhaps but then I've had many gifts. WWRS |

Good afternoon, T-Man! Well, being the New Ager that I am, I thought this poem was going to be about prophecy! lol  --but I was not disappointed.Might I say, that considering your regal pose, it is only fitting that your end would be dignified as well!  I do enjoy your poetic fare--even when I don't completely understand them! lol Love ya! EA |
