Analysis of A Magnificent Gift.



The art of the poet
Is a magnificent
Creative given gift.

And here I am not
Referring to the
Standard level
Of the art.

In truth the process
Of composing
Is an art
In itself.

Raising the question
For those interested
What had our creator
In mind ?

Was it the gift of
A means to encounter
And share the beauty
Of beauty.

Or as a part of creation
As a whole
Fulfilling the gift of
God’s beauty?
