A Gift


If I could give you anything Anything, anything at all I would give you the gift of words Words spurred from a place deep within you, Words buried so deep, The word “deep” itself barely begins to, insinuate it’s depth. Deeper than the ocean-deep, Deep calling unto deep Deep like the earth is deep, Deep like magma. So deep it surpasses all darkness and there is only light Alive in the core of your existence It persists, churning with a fiery passion, Burning with so much emotion, That it spills out volcanically from your pores Yes, I would give you the gift of words, and the courage to wield them with Love. And if I could tell you anything, anything, anything I desire, I would tell it all in pictures. Pictures of human emotion, Pictures of words spoken So that we could understand one another without making A Sound. And if I could play you anything anything, any sound I wish I would play you silence because it is in the silence that words speak loudest. It is in the silence that we hear the voice of God
