Like the breath of an infant
Blooming new each day
Sweet toiletries
Fresh fragrance
Life unfolds before us

Natural bounties
Fruit bearing
Baring flesh
Sensory experiences
Gifts given, again and again 

Never prosaic
Supreme variety
All for me, for you
We must remember
When taking, to give

Your words carry so much truth. Beautifully penned

true last line. I also find refusing, with politeness, denies the would-be-giver the chance to feel good, gifts are fraught with all kinds of danger, it would seem.

Fantastic feel and imagery. Get this read at the next Earth Summit. But seriously, I think poets must begin to address these issues as you and a few others on HP are doing.
