Again They Come
Virginia Salter

there they are again
those tears
sitting one layer beneath the surface
of my heart
my mind, my soul

no reason, no rhyme,
merely morning time
on a sun-drenched day
somewhere above the clay
that makes me who I am

walking done
soaking up sun
peace and tranquility
all around
therefore, why,
why this aching inside of me
as if I’m alone here
on the globe here
orbiting the universe
that was planted so long ago,
too long ago
to be of consequence to me

what does it mean
the look of the scene
in which I’ve beheld a crimson view
a bleeding heart
with teardrop of white
the two
delicately suspended from tender green stems
umbrella’d by scalloped leaves

is there a lesson for me
“a bleeding heart contains beauty
unexplainable
unfathomable”

Without the experiance of love where would we be? We would have no memories to cherish.
With love it brings hurt with hurt bittersweet memories.

i thank you God for most this amazing day;for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky - ee cummings
