Gift

 

It wasn't the morning that came,

nor the night that slipped from the sky,

but somewhere

between dreams

and my waking,

some other dimension

                                              passed by.

 

It wasn't an absence or presence,

nor the things with the traces of you,

but somewhere

between light

and moons crescent,

a ghost of you came

                                              shining through.

 

It must have been something you left,

some intangible force of the heart,

which could never be snuffed

or bereft,

that no

earthly bound force

                                             keep apart.

 

It must have been something you gave me,

a secret or code buried deep,

that somehow

could reach out

and touch me,

in a world where our love

                                             doesn't sleep.

A gorgeous poem, in content, rhythm and language. Enjoyed your video comments as well. May we all feel that mysterious, unknowable "something" that from time to time envelops us in light, beauty, caring. From this is born compassion and the will to carry on, I daresay. The music videos were lovely too. Tuning into the softness of "the ether" is such a gift. (Perfect title). Thanks for sharing RL.

Good morning all,

Thanks to RBK, Holden, Flyntland, Landi, Yanma and Marla for the likes.

Landi, thanks for your comment...I have overcome my crisis of non-faith and remain godless.

David.

It can be a difficult thing to articulate, but it must be that we are greater than the sum of our parts...

I have to tell you, the comments you made at the end of the video regarding atheism made me laugh-I just wanted to hug you 🌷
