This sent onto me...

...and I in respectful response... a shared perception ...
Begetting Treasure
the garden will be attended to and the weeds will grow
the rooms will be put in order and the clutter soon to show
the bills will be paid and more due to come
what is completed will again call to be done
but when a poem I come to write all is complete and shall ever BE
words a Birth Eternal granted unto you unto me
the garden, the rooms, the bills and too, poetic pleasure
words, words, each its own ever present begetting treasure
a poet laureate, I am in designation named
within THE MUSE entreats a word, and so its poetic claim
received I, honor in Proclamation, for words from heart to share
and to this, blessed be the knowing of the Creator's loving care.

...letters in commune... letters differently delineated ... 
and so meanings of its own nature...

...and asked... what be you poet ...
I in the glory of the triune... the calling within each letter of P O E T ...
the pulse, the passion, the purpose
the omnipresence, the one , the offering
the exchange, the evolution, the eternal 
the trust, the truth, the treasure 
I in the glory of the triune... the calling within each letter of P O E T ...
