A Gift
A GIFT
You've given me a piece of your soul
Inside a sunken brown envelope written handle with care
As if I was born heavy-handed.
You've telescoped my soul once more
In its caravan on a mountain slope
Stooped by a bulky backpack.
It's good you've frozen that portion of my long journey
I could have missed the sun just because I stooped too low
That I could only see my heavy footsteps.
I've always known when I unwrapped your love
With my crystal-pure letter opener, I’ve trapped a powerful force
That allows me to forge ahead with its timely smiles!
What I just received is a static showcase of dynamic love!
