Poetic Thoughts - The Gift (To: Neil Young) - by C.W. Pruitt II
posted: Apr. 29, 2021
I recently caught an interview of Neil Young by Charlie Rose. In the interview Neil Young spoke of serving his musical gift. When his gift called, he must set everything aside and work for it.
The poem below was inspired from that interview:
The Gift
To: Neil Young
you wonder
if it will ever
come back again
then you anxiously await
the return
of the gift
then you pray
in vain
for it to
run through you
once again
then finally
in a moment
of solitude
it rolls
in floods
through your being
once again
you are filled
with gratitude
to be a servant
of the gift
