Talent

 

 Talent. Is in the eye of the beholder
 Talent. Is beheld by the one who sees
 It is practice made for the purpose of perfection
 Perfection can never be reached
 If in view of another
 Untrue this is to the lover
 To one who loves all things,
 Nature and Death have talent with out practice
 You could call it a calling to deaf ears
 Which means they do it for themselves alone
 When the wind had first blown it could not whistle
 But with the help of the trees it began to pass
 Through all ears
 When deforestation nears
 And the atmosphere quiet
 Wildfire and yellow motors alike
 Have a talent for destruction.
 When the clouds close their eyes
 They give warning of a storm to come
 Startling awake from knocks on their doors
 Turning their lights on and off like children
 All to make them calm
 The clouds have a talent for soothing.
 A talent for darts
 Always hitting right in the center
 If it misses the board
 One is called a sore loser
 It is not ones fault having never played
 it is not ones fault not knowing where to throw
 It takes experience
 Death hits the mark with a gamble
 Yet it seems fixed
 But again. It is talent
 With out practice.
 Life has a talent to cause ponder
 It can bring forgetfulness
 That talent exists
 We are all taught to find a talent
 We are all said to have something
 Causing talent to have a talent
 For drive
 For grief
 and for searching
 Life is a game of finding talent
 And death is the player
 So who do you think
 Is in control?
