What’s spring if not a rebirth of life, beauty, and passion?
The last as red as a cardinals’ feathers, fly
Into your heart, home, and nook with preservation
Of your unique humanity looking kingly
As you let your heart soar in the revelation
That life, flowers, trees, and shrubs all beautiful,
All colorful just like a spring sun that shines fitfully.
Red roses for love and passion
Candles for creating an ambiance for love
Chocolate and candy to show its sweetness
Swans’ necks form a heart of love
Pigeons are for fidelity, longevity, peace
What other symbols do you need for objects of fondness.
What are mine, yours? Are they the same?
I believe each of us has one or more that are uniquely
Ours. We cherish them as though, thoroughly
Loved, like a person or pet, we pamper them,
Talk, complain, vent, and play with them,
As though animate, alive, aware, awesome,
And astonish in its silence and peace.
Those objects of love become our lifeline
To better, younger, simpler days where time,
And responsibilities were minimal, a line
To laughter, languishing, loving, incorporating
All we love into simplicity and caring!!!!
