The Giver slowly beats his drum.
Everyday he beats his drum,
Without rest, for if he were to stop
Those around him would cease
To know music, life, and soul.
They would no longer fulfill
The needs of which they were chosen.

He never rests, but for a brief,
Period of time, in which it seems
That his stamina will falter,
And his body will collapse upon
The drum and himself as well,
But his resolve shows,
And he continues evermore.

The Giver never speaks,
For his rhythm is solely
Foundation without purpose,
Designated as a keeper of beat.
With every beat, every step,
He brings attention to the fact,
That the future is just
One more beat away.
When his beat ends,
Nobody could know,
For all they know,
He's always been playing,
Since the beginning of time. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 441 [topic] => 73 [informant] => xHeathenx [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 1 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => abstract )

The Giver

Thump. Thump. Thump.
The Giver slowly beats his drum.
Everyday he beats his drum,
Without rest, for if he were to stop
Those around him would cease
To know music, life, and soul.
They would no longer fulfill
The needs of which they were chosen.

He never rests, but for a brief,
Period of time, in which it seems
That his stamina will falter,
And his body will collapse upon
The drum and himself as well,
But his resolve shows,
And he continues evermore.

The Giver never speaks,
For his rhythm is solely
Foundation without purpose,
Designated as a keeper of beat.
With every beat, every step,
He brings attention to the fact,
That the future is just
One more beat away.
When his beat ends,
Nobody could know,
For all they know,
He's always been playing,
Since the beginning of time.

It's interesting that you used the name "the giver" since there is a very famous philosophical book called "the giver."

I love the way you write. What a great poem. :)

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
