When God asks:

"What did you do

with the gifts

you were given?"

How will you answer?

Will you have a

relevant  response prepared?

Will gratitude for

the joy of birdsong

in the spring

be included?

Or the intriguing sound 

of water trickling under 

the surreal patterns 

of paper-thin ice 

on a winter stream?

Did you take some time

to gasp in awe

at the spectacular sunrises

that brightened your many mornings?

Were you mesmerized  

by the absolute silence

of a dark night

while under the domed ceiling

of ancient stars?
