SUNNY
VALENTINE
Bright the large
golden morning sun
illuminating the
surrounding mountains,
reflecting on the
French Doors facing me
shedding warmth on
snowy ground, icy air
resulting in a mellow
mood, gentle thoughts.
Surfacing feelings
long smothered
by mundane routine
daily events,
which had little if
anything to do
with intricacies
pertaining to the most
important matters of
all, the heart.
Was it due to a jolt
of a chance encounter
a far off artist with
a most unusual name,
a unique lady of age
who has had a full life,
a beautiful writer of
poetry who befriended me
together with long
friends, unforgettable memories.
Yes, as all these
events an apex reach
my awakening heart
gently beseeches each
to continue to shed
their favor and grace
upon me with all their
heart, their kindliness
replenished with love
to them, from my heart.
