The gift
Once I was gazing at the sunset when my mind awoke
I almost grasped it then swiftly it was gone
Other times I almost had it again
Then bang someone spoke and the moment was lost
The other night dreaming I dreamed of a place
Where souls were together for all the same cause
I studied them closely as they gathered round
In front of a man with presents in hand
He spoke somewhat softly as he passed them out
One by one slowly they held out their hands
And as they received then quickly were gone
The gifts were all different as people can be
The smiles that he gave all shined at me
I moved a bit closer so that I could hear
The last of the souls collecting his gift
I heard him tell this soul the present is yours
The key to get back is learning to share
I woke from my dream and danced for a bit
I watched the sun rise and thought for a while
A new day has come to spread what I’ve found
The gift of my self to be passed around
