I recently received a gift, Its sender knew me well And though inside it caused a rift Its meaning time would tell But time past is gone forever and never returns So be careful how much of the wick you burn No query, doubt, no second guess Entered my mind at all I didn’t wonder, I confess, While waiting for the curtain call I took the bow from round the box Felt the fabric in my hands Turned the key, opened the locks As I finalised my plans ‘Cos time past is gone forever and never returns Just be careful how much of the wick you burn And as I freed it from its prison, From the confines of its walls, I saw it in the moonlight glisten As I heard the angel’s call I felt it press against my skin Let the icy touch devour Leaving a trail of heat within I met with my final hour ‘Cos my time has passed now and will never return No, I won’t be getting a new wick to burn The gift that I received today Its beauty was exquisite There was no point to cause delay For its purpose was explicit Copyright ©2016-2017 KF

The Gift
I recently received a gift, Its sender knew me well And though inside it caused a rift Its meaning time would tell But time past is gone forever and never returns So be careful how much of the wick you burn No query, doubt, no second guess Entered my mind at all I didn’t wonder, I confess, While waiting for the curtain call I took the bow from round the box Felt the fabric in my hands Turned the key, opened the locks As I finalised my plans ‘Cos time past is gone forever and never returns Just be careful how much of the wick you burn And as I freed it from its prison, From the confines of its walls, I saw it in the moonlight glisten As I heard the angel’s call I felt it press against my skin Let the icy touch devour Leaving a trail of heat within I met with my final hour ‘Cos my time has passed now and will never return No, I won’t be getting a new wick to burn The gift that I received today Its beauty was exquisite There was no point to cause delay For its purpose was explicit Copyright ©2016-2017 KF
