A gift

Tell me
if there is anything
that I can gift
which will last
for all the time
that we can think of ,
a flower as beautiful as rose
as fragrant as jasmine
as frail as parijat
would wilt in no time
in the ambient heat ,
a dawn song
would get drowned
in the humdrum of
daily noises ,
a golden bracelet
would shine
but stagnate
depriving the skin cells
of the much needed
oxygen ,
wait ,
I have not given up ,
i have a treasure here ,
there is this never ending
string of moments of
simple pleasures
like that fraction of a second
that the eyes met
in the sparkle of a firefly ,
that slight shifting sensation
on inhaling a passing fragrance ,
an unexpected compassion
that lightens up your day ,
so many of them
through our days
of living ,
blissful living ,
this is the forever ,
the imprint
of a reverent moment
in the everlasting
forevers
of all lifetimes
in our lives ,
is the gift ,
my gift
for you.
