Valentine’s Day
VINTAGE LOVE
Love shifts
like silky summer clouds
or frolicking waves.
We adapt to the challenges
of love year by year.
You take my hand and
we slow dance on the rug in the living room.
Sunlight warms our souls
while moonlight covers us with dreams.
Our young lovers embrace only in the past.
Take my hand…walk with me…
into this brave new world.

RED THREAD OF LOVE
“An invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, regardless of time, place or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break.” – Ancient Chinese Proverb
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY TO ALL!
Generic Valentine
May you see love, beauty, joy, peace, and hope
in the ordinary corners of your life.
And may the fragrance of a flower,
the careless flight of a butterfly, sun
on a sleeping cat, rain,
unexpected tolerance,
acts of compassion and
quiet faith…
remind you of
the mystery
of life
and love.
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
Mended Heart – a poem for Valentine’s Day
MENDED HEART
My heart is stitched and
patched with tender threads
pieces of
worn silk,
cotton,
denim,
satin
and calico –
oddly cut shapes of
practical love
that repair
the wounds of my soul-flesh heart.
I remember
hues the yellow of the sun,
black of the darkness,
purpled passion,
blue of a baby’s first view,
neutral of a gritty shore,
green reflecting envy
in the red of blood,
brown as heavy
stalks of ripening grain,
silver of old hair and
golden dreams.
I believe
in the fabric
of tangled love
and color
as the world
coils into
black and white
around me.
