Buried Treasure – February’s Gem – Whoever You Are

FEBRUARY 2022

 

The month of storms and frost.

The month of early blush of palest green on limbs, stems,

Blossoms breaking through snow.

The month of cabin fever.

The month officially declared the month of Romance.

(As if all other months are devoid of it.)

So let us celebrate a bit!

Where possible and with whom possible let us hug, kiss, consume chocolate and champagne, be a little kinder to strangers a little more patient with ourselves. Let us sing songs of love and write poems .

Let us remember those days back in elementary school when cheesy little cartoon cards were handed around…when candy hearts, tasting of chalk and chemicals were consumed by the fistful.

Let us remember with a quiet smile one fierce, fiery passionate person from our past.

Let us celebrate VALENTINE’S DAY!!!!!

 

Here’s my poem…

 

MANTRA 

I love you

Is a mantra

It’s meaning shifting

With the menu

Of the day

It can mean

 You’re mad at me, aren’t you?

                        Or

Tell me I’m beautiful

                        Or

Honey, I wrecked the car

                        Or

Shut the hell up

                        Or

Good morning, the sky is glorious

                        Or

I’ll kill you if you leave me

                        Or

You are my prisoner

                        Or

You show me what I am

That I am

All I am

All that is pure and perfect

And unutterable joy

I love you                                                                                           

 

-Om-
