(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.

Whispered Secrets in a Fog

(30 NOV 2011 – Some words cast new shading on everything one thinks about themselves – now, yesterday, and tomorrow.  How sharp the contrast between my Heart's Abode – now worn and faded with Time's despair – and the images that flash across a reluctant mind, as dazzling and fresh as ever.  Some memories burn too hot to ever fade in the early morning fog.  dht)

 

The softest of breezes ruffles the morning's gray Fog –

Where whispered Secrets are spoken in hushed tones –

Where wisps of a new day play in the early mist.

Astonishing how a few short fierce words can pierce the gray of the world with a single beam of insight.

Then the Sun marches forth to reveal the Mysteries of a brilliant sky –

Then the Whippets of gray disperse in the sunny warmth of a new day.

Winter's Secret Garden

(30 NOV 2011 – Another day, another year in the Calendar of Life.  Loss draws out every shade – every color – of emotion, as the hollow echoes of a broken Heart lay buried in the harsh reality of an inherently cold and Loveless existence.  A poignantly written story of a Lifetime of woe in the aging pages of the Book of Life.  What is the Secret to the workings of the Human Heart – intense emotions within a Timeless Story.  Another year – another Anniversary – only the hands of time provide the kerchief that wipes away my tears.  30NOV1963-30NOV2011--dht)

The Landscape is bare and the ground layered with leaves for the coming Winter's Slumber.

Spring's Secrets lay hidden beneath the blanket of fallen leaves – red, golden, and brown.

It is my pleasure – my joy – to share the wonders of the day with (you) my memories.

Winter's Garden comes alive in my Heart with the blossoming of a Lifetime of memories.

WHISPERS IN THE WIND

(There are so many mysteries in my Daily Life, held secret behind Nature's veil.  The Blessings and gifts served on the wings of a new Day, are as Whispers in my Ear that remind me of the Promises in my Christian Bible, for which my daily prayers give Thanks.  dht-OCT 2011)

Nature holds many of Life's secrets –

The Promises in a New Dawn our Blessings –

The Word of GOD reveals to those
whose Heart listens --

The Sounds of a moment's passage --
but Whispers in the Wind.
