a gift

I have a gift for you
it has no mass or relative dimension
but it is heavier than gold
and infinite as the universe

it has no specific location
but is everywhere at once

my gift is intimate as a kiss
but you can't even hold it in your hands
or behold it with your eyes
its form exists beyond our limited perception

one can't ever understand
exactly how or why or when —
that, not even the giver
can comprehend

I bare this gift with utmost respect
as I have seen its awesome power
In giving it to you, I only gain it greater, and greater

such a precious gift —
yet it is not unusual to return it
which is why I'm sending it back to you —
hoping to keep it, forever
