THE OFFERING

THE OFFERING 



  I MOVE-----------------------

ONE TENTATIVE FINGER AT A TIME

SLOWLY---------------------

UNTIL MY FINGERS COME TOGETHER

AND FORM A BOWL IN THE PALM OF MY HAND

AND IN MY PALM APPEARS AN OFFERING: MY HEART

I REACH----------------------

ONE HEARTBEAT AT A TIME

SLOWLY--------------------

UNTIL MY HAND COMES TO REST

IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES

AND I SEE THAT YOU SEE.

I WAIT------------------------

AFRAID TO BREATHE,

 AFRAID TO MOVE, AFRAID TO SPEAK

I STAND--------------------

WAITING AN ETERNITY

FOR YOUR ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION

OF THIS, MY HEART

MY PRECIOUS OFFERING, MY ONLY GIFT

WORTHY OF ONE LIKE YOU.

I SMILE---------------------

FOR YOU REACH FORTH YOUR HAND

 AND TAKE MY HAND

IN YOURS

AND WITHOUT MOVING YOUR EYES FROM MINE

YOU PLACE MY PALM AGAINST YOUR LIPS

AND KISS IT

THEN PLACING IT AGAINST YOUR CHEST

UPON YOUR HEART

YOU ACCEPT MY OFFERING

AND WITH PURE LOVE SHINING IN YOUR EYES

YOU EXTEND YOUR HAND TO ME

AND THERE I SEE IN THE BOWL OF YOUR PALM

THE HEART I DESIRE ABOVE ALL THINGS

I CLASP IT TO MY OWN

AND MELTING INTO YOUR STRONG ARMS

AND EYES---------------------

WE BECOME ONE

IN ETERNITY.

  1. I love it! And I was listening to Heart Taker as I read. It seemed to follow your poem. "Beauty burned in forever fires...."
