Valentine’s Day

Love is a long, bright scarf
in the wind
a hat losing itself to the streets
the inner flap of your loose jacket shining
nature tossing your hair in my face
kissed with a tease of Spring and stamen
buzzed with co-existence with bees.

I salute our flavors our
multi-tongued love
respect for creation
our various hues
of artistic expression.

Love is realizing
it is always a test.
Every second counts.
“Nothing is hidden
in the eyes of the Lord”
and those eyes are Ours.

Everything lasts forever
and everything changes.

A mist lifts
and gifts a rainbow.
