Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is The Gifts of Life, in honor of Thanksgiving,
which this year is celebrated on Thursday, November 28.
I welcome comments on my poems at

A philosophical number poem about the gift of art:
Salvation is a song that one can
sing,
Evangelist upon the
shores of beauty,
Voice upon the void, one’s words or no,
Etched upon the silent undertow,
Neither simply sweet nor merely
pretty,
The gift of grace, there
for rendering,
Yielding something more than
fortune’s flow.
One goes about one’s daily round
of duty
Not wholly in the world of time
and things,
Enchanted by what comes from where none go.
