Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week as we enter the holiday season is Happy Holidays.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A Happy Holidays poem about how love is both of and beyond
time:
Here are
moments sweet and everlasting,
A time for
celebration, song, and cheer.
Perhaps it’s
something more than joy in passing;
Perhaps it’s
something more than simply here.
Yes, love
exists in time, like us, like sunlight,
Having, like
us, a contingent cause.
Over time,
however, it, like starlight,
Leads us to
what seem like higher laws.
In love one
finds the gravity of living,
Desire for
joy, for ecstasy, for life,
A force that
grants more goodness in the giving,
Yielding
parent and child, man and wife,
Solicitude that binds all souls in meaning.
