Giving (No.83, 17th Sept 1986)

by

Everard S. Polakow

Giving
of the power
within
joins all
in the art and skill
of Divinity.

It is
a delicate circular balance
of four:

The boundless force
of the Spirit
which waits, then enters
through the choice
and submission
of the Giver
to be adapted
and moulded
as a Gift
to fill, over time
a need
within the Receiver.

But
if the size
and texture
of the Gift
is seen and limited
by the eye
of the self;

or
if the Receiver
cannot perceive
nor accept
then
the force
fails with sorrow
in its quest.

It then pauses,
encircles and awaits.

Yet, when all begin
to resonate in harmony
there is but half
of perfect balance...

For
once given
it turns slowly
changing form
then travels back
through converse roles
without names
enriching all -
completing
the eternal circle
of Divinity.
