Gift to the Writer

 

Sometimes, my poems

rise softly, subtly,

like the slow approach

of a summer dawn.


Frequently, they fly about

erratically, sporadically,

like Little Brown Bats

darting and diving during dusk.


Occasionally, the words

may illuminate the lines

like early morning light

on jeweled prisms of dew.



Always, know that

I share my offerings

with humble gratitude

that you are here.


Indelibly, the best gift

to the writer

is the presence

of a gracious reader.
