let them ring!

The Gift of Time

Your presence is an unwrapped gift
to be enjoyed more than fine wine
Every moment precious(while you are alive
all is possible.I do not listen to ghosts or gods
and those who do are distinctively individual
This world kaleidoscopes /careens spinning madly
Speed of events faster than headlines
Daily disasters larger than our lives
dictate much of our dedicated attention
yet we make time for this-contact!
Strange how we both become more by this-
connection affirms and strengthens
Seasons allegedly for celebration
often become shopping distractions
We affirm each other's choices via divergence
Each voice a bird in hidden forests
Song smiles define us.Thank you for chorus!
And this gift of time/attention/focus.
It makes more for both of us...
