(Feb 2012  --  Well,  you can forget Valentine's Day, for I'm just waiting for the marked down CHOCOLATES on February 15^th. dht)

There is no VOWEL that shares the Heart  --   

as my dear one's unspoken troth.

There is no FLOWER that shares the Heart --   

as an embrace in my loved one's arms.

There is no CARD that shares the Heart    --   

as the sparkle of your smile.

There is no VERSE that shares the Heart  --   

as the rhymes of your love.

There is no TREASURE that shares the Heart --

as the softness of your kiss on my cheek.

There is no CANDY that shares the Heart -- 

as the sweetness of your touch.

 There is no GIFT that shares the Heart --   

as your unconditional devotion.

There is no MELODY that shares the Heart --   

as the sound of your voice to my ear.

There is no WEALTH that shares the Heart   --

as your breath of Life.

There is no SECRET that shares the Heart –

as it is always constant and true.

BUT, a box of chocolates would be nice  -- 

and can be our LOVE's unspoken secret.

Nature's Caring Arms

(25 OCT 2011 - There is no tonic or elixir of Life that can compare to the balm of Nature upon the human Spirit. dht-2011)

The balm of Nature surrounds me –

And I'm content.

 

Birds in the sky follow air currents –

And I'm content.

 

Creatures in the bush skitter about –

And I'm content.

 

Nearby water ripples over shimmering stones –

cascading in a curtain of liquid silver –

And I'm content.

 

Wild grasses waft to a gentle breeze –

combed to a tamed sweet order –

And I'm content.

 

Clouds shelter from on high –

holding Mother Earth in embrace –

And I'm content.

 

In Nature's Caring Arms –

slumber beckons – while blissful Dreams fill my senses –

And I'm content.

 

My troubled thoughts float away –

on the wings of the day –

And I'm content.
