GIVE NOT WITH YOUR HANDS by MACKNIGHT BLACK

First Line: GIVE NOT WITH YOUR HANDS; THEY MIGHT BREAK, LIFTING MOUNTAINS
Last Line: THUNDERING THE WHITE PEAR BRANCHES OF SPRING FROM ITS SILENT DARK!
Subject(s): GIFTS & GIVING;

Give not with your hands; they might break, lifting mountains.
Give not with your lips, shaping words like blue swords, or lanterns of silver,
to fail.
Give with your heart, like earth, the old giver,
Not knowing what life shall come out of its wholeness,
Thundering the white pear branches of Spring from its silent dark!
