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 14.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A Valentine’s Day poem about the need for love to overcome
life’s pain:
Happiness is not a tended rose
Amid the prescient beauty of a garden:
Perhaps one senses soon some gate may close;
Perhaps one senses soon the earth will harden.
Years come and go like waves upon a shore,
Violent or peaceful with the wind.
After one has given up on more,
Love waits within the heart, its faith undimmed.
Even in a passage void of light,
Nether windings black with rage and grief,
There are waters sweet with lost delight
In which one finds a long longed-for relief.
No happiness can overcome life's pain
Except one love, and love give life again.
