Lush green, with colors bursting in the sun
pink, purple
and sometimes blue,
all declaring My love
for you.

In Our Splendor, My Love
In our splendor My Love, it’s as if we get lost
in the essence of each other,
hidden yet without hesitation
knowing, even breathing
the truth that we were made
to love, giving away
our most special gardens
and the gifts
of our hearts.

Walk With Me, My Love
Walk with me My Love, through the garden
in the coolness of the day
in the quiet comfort
of the leaves,
where our spirits can rest,
and the shaping of a prayer
can be renewed,
as peace surrenders within
our hearts once again.
Simply
take my hand.

The Mystery of You
When we are talking, and I look at your hair,
the mystery deepens.
How can the world be in
a few strands, of black and grey,
with a little bit of brown?
How can one set of eyes, hold
so many answers, give so many clues,
so that the world makes sense?
I wonder,
how can skin be so soft,
so intoxicating,
so exhilarating, when I hold you?
Listening to you breathe,
hearing your heart,
50+ years, and still holding the fire,
still climbing mountains,
still conquering galaxies,
how do you do it?
May I always be worthy,
of your love.

They Still Remember
The two of them still remember their first embrace, the smell of her hair
the strength of his shoulders, the softness of her hands
in his, he drew her closer as she enveloped him
pink petals floating, swirling around
their heads, landing so beautifully
so gently, barely touching
as they gave each other
their greatest gifts
their hearts,
underneath the cherry trees.
Yes, they still remember.

The Healing is Not Far Away
When a cherry blossom stuns us with her beauty
capturing our hearts
we know the healing
is not far away.
Do you feel loved today?

Love Still Lingers
The simple yet sacred truth living
within the heart of a tulip
is that love still lingers,
flows within our beings
carrying us
far beyond the darkest ruins
of our world,
until we are refreshed.
