Everything is a GIft

Day 23 - NaPoWriMo

Sweet hearted one,

uncertainty gifts itself within the wind

brushing lightly across your cheeks, 

or, perhaps, knocking you right from your feet.

Each an offering of observation.

Detach like a freshly blown dandelion….

take the space of the infinite,

questions flow as your drift 

through the eternal thermals of now…

Gaze deep for there’s yet unwrapped intention.

Be the heart of each gift bestowed,

own it, but don’t keep it, 

position yourself between the brushing of wind

across your cheeks and the 

gust that knocks you off your feet … 

The middle ground, 

alive, awake, aware,

you can 

be.

Just to 'be'. Lovely. As children we used to count the o'clocks as we released the dandelion seeds. Now I know why......'to drift through the eternal thermals of now.' Brilliant, thank you.

' Gaze deep for there’s yet unwrapped intention.

Your beautiful poem echoes the following which ever reminds how i should try to follow: ' I am everything I will ever see, every person i'll ever meet, everywhere I'll ever go. '

Your words show how it is to see and not forget - looking is never enough; whatever felt, seen or touched, is fleeting but memorable; where you are this moment and how you feel it is YOU, alive. Here you inspire, dear E.. and leave me thinking even more.

' .. position yourself between the brushing of wind ~ across your cheeks and the ~ gust that knocks you off your feet.. '

there are always questions of life of the heart...more than there are answers....and that dandelion represents the age old "does he or she love me or ..." well...

i like the observations in this poem...and really love the use of "uncertainty gifts itself"
it is something we open so often every day is like a Christmas of finding out for sure, or not.

Hey Jacob - thanks for the read I myself was 'uncertain' about this one but after your thoughts above I am glad you understood it as intended... life has many gifts to be sure ... the Interpretation of them is where it gets confusing ... thanks so much X
