Seven Gifts

Whilst I hold all worlds within me,

pervading this multiverse;

Self effulgent, pure, silent;

why would I desire to hold me, in your eyes?

Yet you weave the dreams in my mind

and I play in that delusion.

The seven gifts conceived by ego.

Yet in my love for Him,

I try to give-

The first gift of compassion,

the second gift of empathy,

the third gift of time,

the fourth, of hope,

the fifth of joy.

The sixth of faith,

and the seventh gift of Love.

Yet all these mortal gifts!

what can I give to the infinite cosmos?

You and I have only been dream-weavers.

Forgetting,

that I’m the gift, the giver and the receiver.
