Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is Valentine’s Day, which is celebrated on
February 14th.
Today’s poem is a Valentine’s Day poem about how we tend to
take our blessings for granted.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Blessings are the things we take for
granted.
Each holiday's a
light that helps us see.
Most know the Earth
is utterly enchanted
Yet walk through
life and love mechanically.
Valentine’s Day is
love’s well-timed ablution,
A ritual bath in
sweet reality.
Love brings us the
gift of absolution,
Enveloping our
guilt in innocence.
No touch inspires
so swift a revolution,
Translating
lust-filled longings into sense.
In your love's a
blessing I will sing,
Needing just your
joy for recompense,
Embracing words
that make the heart take wing.
