Giving Without Remembering, Taking Without Forgetting By: Noah Eaton 12/23/05 What if there were no holly tree, that could nestle you from life’s debris, no camel coerced to cross the wide desert, with no hump to quell the insatiable thirst, what if you refused to go out one frigid night, only to wake to see opportunity glide away like a kite... …only to be left peering every young face, just to find... . . . . . …what if I was forgiven only to forget, found any resolve dissolve like a vignette, what if forgiveness came wrapped in an excuse, with no golden truth or higher self suffused, what if you refused to go out one frigid night, only to wake to see opportunity glide away like a kite... …only to be left peering every young face, just to invite... . . . . . By lighting another candle, a candle loses nothing, cast a shadow, gaze upon animations of blessings, for where your treasure is, there your heart will be, oh, you will gain ever more when you keep giving freely, giving without remembering, taking without forgetting... . . The best gift I could ever give, would be for you to stare into my eyes, and show you that you live, no two snowflakes could ever be the same, that’s how I recognize the face within every miracle made, what if you refused to go out one frigid night, only to wake to see opportunity glide away like a kite... …only to be left peering every young face, just to invite... By lighting another candle, a candle loses nothing, cast a shadow, gaze upon animations of blessings, for where your treasure is, there your heart will be, oh, you will gain ever more when you keep giving freely, giving without remembering, taking without forgetting... * By lighting another candle, a candle loses nothing, cast a shadow, gaze upon animations of blessings, for where your treasure is, there your heart will be, righteousness will tinkle like silver bells in the city, giving without remembering, taking without forgetting... "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" Mother Teresa |
