Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is Valentine’s Day.
Today’s poem is about how beneath the need for ecstasy
remains the need for love.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Valleys are where people live,
where farms
Are rich, the soil fertile, and
rivers flow
Like braided bloodstreams through
the heart.
Even so, one longs to live on
mountains,
Not satisfied with happiness, or
with
The beauty of fresh flowers and
old trees.
In the cupped palm of a gigantic
hand,
Near heaven in a world of sculpted
stone,
Each moment needs an ear, a hand to hold.
