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

Live for the Love of it,
