For You:
~Deana J. Tavares
I have a gift
For you
Rationed
Spread far and wide each day
Presented without packaging
Or bows to throw away
This gift was found
Deep inside
Under layers of birds
And waves
And trees
Little messages whispered
Into harsh winds
Within the pollen baskets
Of tiny bees
If you missed it
Another one
Will come your way
Real soon
Rocketing good intentions
Bouncing them
Off the moon
This gift it spreads
Like mycelium
It grows upon downed trees
Tiny messages flutter
Cascade
To the ground
Parachuting amongst the leaves
With acorns crunching
Beneath our shoes
Creamy horizons in the distance
Blues often brightened
By various hues
Our colors blending with persistence
Energy
This is my gift to you
Though you too are wrapped inside
Your thoughts
Your laughs
Our memories clasped
This gift
Our gift
It is alive
