Happy Valentine's Day!
the hour of content
the dense silence of presence
everyone is home
* * *
the whimsical willows
the words on the wall
the world that is waiting
the wishes we whisper
the bottomless well
the wee hours get crisper
the winter waves swell
the ‘why?’, the uncertain
the cruel would-have-been
the wooing, the curtain
the vows in between
the one thing we own
the now with no end
the wonder we’ve known
the storms that we fend
the years that we weather
the wordless ‘love you’
the warmth of together
the oneness of two

You are master of perfect last lines in poetry! Love them both and wish you a Happy Day with those you love.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Janet. A very happy day to you, too :-)
DeleteHappy indeed! The haiku is priceless. I used to enjoy my full house.
ReplyDeleteNow my chicks have flown. And still it is filled enough when the two of us are within.
And special when everyone visits and gathers round the table for special celebrations. :)
Thank you, Jules. Such a nice warm comment. :-)
