as I walk the mourning streets alone
holding the hand that isn’t there
her memory calls to me
my love teacher
smile!
life is a precious gift
delight in the wonder of each new day
embrace the sun’s warm touch
dance with moon shadows
drown yourself in the pleasures of flowers
play with children
laugh with babies
love
love
simply love
you will always be my valentine

the first time we walked together
we got lost
the perfect path
to knowing each other
she never complained
simply smiled
marveled at flowers and bird
held my hand
trusted
we’ve walked on
through mountain meadows
singing with bees and butterflies
dancing barefoot on foggy beaches
gleefully splashing in the waves
hiding under an umbrella in Spring rain
sampling strawberries at the Farmers’ Market
gossiping with passing neighbors
skipping to the grocery store
plopping onto our favorite bench
hand in hand
we walk on

first snow
white oblivion
whispers
to sleeping earth
hush…
let go
frantic mind
surrender
hush…
forgive your past
your sins
your separation
hush…
a blanket
of serenity
hush
white oblivion
cuddles me
in love’s eternity
first snow
melts,
drips
slowly
down the face
of my soul
hush…

in the muck of news’ day platitudes
I’ve lost my cheery attitude
midst hate and anger screamed and spewed
what happened to beatitudes
but past these ugly, mindless feuds
beyond behavior simply rude
there is another world that can be viewed
in Nature’s holy latitude
in this world outside our doors
flowers dance, birds sing, and oceans roar
a world that heeds not human news
where souls soar high on gratitude

as comets streak cross galaxies
I dance down a puddled street
splashing through a sea of stars
reflections wet my feet
I walk past lamp lit skeletons
their leaves now lost and drowned
and wonder on this winter night
where can truth be found

has love been worth
the silly fears of youthful years
the agony and sobbing tears
rejections, dejections, emotions tossed
plans and hopes and dreams now lost
has love been worth the unmet wants
the emptiness of sensual haunts
the births, the deaths
the final breaths
the agony of cried regrets
all this for a glimpse of bliss
the rapture of a secret kiss
a sudden smile
a soft caress
the eternity of souls confessed
and so I ask a broken heart
as time tugs our love apart
was it worth the cost
the moment’s flame?
ah, yes
sighs the sent
the sight
the memory
of a single rose
again

walking through a cloud of grey
the beginning of a quiet day
I felt a tickle on my face
a soft caress, a moment’s grace
and smiled
as I was gently kissed
by the tender morning mist
