Unwanted Gift

I sent you this photograph, a painting and a poem for your birthday. With no response I offer it to other hearts to find encouragement.





A present for you, though



you are gone from my life:

Window towards the future.

A birthday offers promise

beyond the trees.

Leaves clink in the wind,

mist is upon your jacket,

smell rainfall of the past.

Sing health, happiness and prosperity.

Believe in your plan and take each day

a joyful syrup of achievement.
