What Will I Not Share?

Some priceless treasures are meant
to be protected behind polished glass,
never to be leant
or given away

Virtue
                       Lifeblood
        Health

Some treasures are heirlooms,
meant for inheritance, never to be sold

Some treasures are meant to be of service
to many, not just few

Some priceless gifts are all three:
To be appreciated, for inheritance, for service

Faith
                  Hope
      Love

  

An Honest Gaze

Through a time
passing by my
window

There's a space
of grace
to carry

Long enough
to remember,
wide enough to notice

A freeze on seeds of truth
before all growth is lost

Creating an honest gaze

Lowering

Fog settles in again
Lowering a curtain

Where a voice to sing
worth remembering

Stays to take a bow
and encore allows

Lowering a curtain
on anything certain

Shadows seize all thought,
none there to be forgot
