Love

“Poetry might be defined as the clear expression of mixed feelings.” —W.H. Auden

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!

LOVE

Oh Love, to fathom you; how many scholastic and philosopher types have tried?
How many have searched your mysterious ways with hope embedded in their stride?
But are your ways really as mysterious and elusive as they seem to be;
Or is it that those who search, often look straight at you; but fail to see?

When they look at the stormy ocean or the gently falling rain;
They separate the two and only see you in the drops falling upon the window pane.
They look at the sun as it arches across the sky and beautifully fills the west,
And exclaim of the glory and the beauty of sunsets, but fail to see you in all the rest.

Those who recognize you in the sunset as you unfurl your beauty…
