Valentine’s Day is Everyday

Whatever darkest night and waning warmth
Should pass into my life.
Or sting of destitute, or disease unto death,
My heart will remember you, the sea.
I shall always have you
Your sweet unfailing amity…

I am unwilling to give away even one memory,
One sweet taste of one, of your salty tears…

You are my friend and shall be
Throughout all my earthly years.
Forget what is said from the howling wind
Or the murmuring of the lifting full moon…

Look to the cliffs, where I am standing, and waiting.
I’ll not forget, all my days, your kindness
And God given blessing you truly are.
Valentine’s Day is every day
With you alive in my heart…

As one who seeks the sea... and knows that love is no more important today than yesterday or tomorrow no matter how many cards are sold... I love this write! *S*

this was an amazing write JL, but this, this part penetrates the soul, with great fondness and warmth...

Look to the cliffs, where I am standing, and waiting.
I’ll not forget, all my days, your kindness
And God given blessing you truly are.
Valentine’s Day is every day
With you alive in my heart…

this gave a presence of truth in eternity, perhaps to, in destiny...

there is not only romance where you stand,
but an all knowing wisdom of spiritual blend
a marriage of soul which merges existence
the believer swept away in God's meaning
the drum of future resounds the call
where all vessels cease to fall
there in your heart doth persevere
an illumination beholds man's fear
placing a songbird within his center
enchanting the quiet mind
where ash glows a purely woven design
