The Gift

The Gift

A Poem by Chris Micha
"

The gift that is most precious.

"

When I die I want to be...


A raindrop that falls into to stillness of a lake

To ride the subtle rippling waves to the shore


The whisper of wind amongst the trees

That tickles them with magical animation


The first ray of light from the Sun

That radiates a baby's smile


The nighttime dreams of a slumbering child

That sparks limitless imagination to change the world


The chemical of love tasted upon the lips

Of a couples timid first kiss


But most of all I want to be the gift that was given to me

Life.

You are so one with the subject, and nature in this beautiful piece.
There is all, and nothing, when we die, and also when we are alive,
You have woven poetry here like all is one, and it's a rich philosophy.
Very lovely, tender, deep, reaching out, and utterly artistic.

"Beyond is the word".

Wonderful poetry.

Love this line:

It is just so lovely and pure. I don't know if that makes sense to you, but this poem, and it's not that it's
"beautiful", this poem just totally hits me with it's... purity. I'm blown away, remembering that this is here, this is now, my situation might be bad, but I'm ALIVE. LIFE. It most certainly is "the gift that is most precious."

To sum me up is pretty easy. I love writing because it's therapy for my wayward soul. Although, I am by no means any good at it, I still put myself out there. I use to write when I was younger but gav.. more..
