Is it ok to tell you I love you
For Christmas
Would it be wrong to unwrap the priceless gift you gave
Hold it to my chest and gaze at it with watered eyes
remembering a time of meaning,
when feet felt the fluff of clouds,
and the soul soared to points of light yet to be discovered

Is it a sin to still carry the perfume of a lotus
in senses of the mind
Will it impede your progress if every year
I again hold what was,
to my heart,
cradle and protect it from the passage of time

If this is wrong I am sorry
This is something that lives and breathes on its own
It is beyond consciousness and determination
I have not the means to diminish it
Nor would I want to
