An artist who is forever driven,
Has a gift he has been given.
To create is not a silly sport,
Or boredom’s effort to thwart.
Art is a GIFT from the artist’s soul,
Which only God may extol.

I had believed The Gift to be,
an ability granted by gods.
A talent, trade, or craft
seemingly unattainable yet
precisely grafted in character.
Many gifts have been granted,
placed with pride and confidence.
Sculpting individuals,
shaping personage,
providing sufficiency.
Yet all along, hidden in sight!
The greatest gift of all…
a fellowship, of community.
Kindred spirits, sharing willingly,
unique gifts of ability, talent, vision.

Your poem is beautiful and so very true, Eric. What we bring to each other in work and support is the greatest gift of all.
Thank you for writing this for ‘The Gift’.
