When I speak of the gifted people 
I speak not of the headline -makers,the media and sports superstars 
They truly are talented 

There are the others who take words And paint them into life experiences 
They are of different ages, different 
Genders,different nationalities different
Cultures and most important-
The amazing ability to mold their words 
Into their personal, individual pictures of expression 

There are no scrips, no cue cards, no 
Rehearsals 
But there is the potpourri of the human condition 
Trials and tradgedy,loves lost and found the searching for survival for happiness
For recognition for acceptance for appreciation and on and on
Each individual with their unique gift presents this in a way that helps expose 
Who they are beyond the facade of other’s expectations 

Their only  reward is the satisfaction of expressing from their soul the multitude 
Of conditions and circumstances that 
Define their existence their struggles their achievements and disappointments 

This then is real-sometimes agonizing to  read some time joyous and rewarding
But for the most part-real
I feel fortunate to have found a haven where the expression is the quality and the limitation of that expression is varied  and limitless 

This then is my revelation of my new-found sanctuary and I salute
 Aii the gifted people-YOU 🦋
