Love Sonnet LXXX

 

 

Our love is just a tender

heartbeat in the morning light,

its melody holds us, reminds

us we hold the world’s

 

future in our hands. Our

eyes see the horizon, tells

the story of our lives, tells

of the creation that surrounds

 

us, giving the rain, turning

dessert into flowering plains,

and oceans into purple deep.

 

In this gentle morning light,

our hearts beat, telling our stories,

and our interconnected life.

This is a warm and gentle piece.

It has a delicate flow, my eyes are being carried through each stanza.

I admire your passionate choice of words. It is truly affectionate.

A pleasant and relaxing read. Thank you for sharing. x

Thank you so much Rosie C. Growing up in the revolutionary days of the 60's, we looked for new ways, new ideaqs and our music of the time reflected and influenced many of us in our attempts to change the world. I mention this because our music was tender as well and had a quality of how we wanted to live. I have been trying to write poetry that is also tender and filled with a hope that our world can be better if we fight to make it so. Even with all the chaos and horror that surrounds us, we need to know we can be better, that we can be tender and that tenderness exists in the world.

Thanks again Rosie, I appreciate your input and your visit and you.
