"The Shortage" |
Deep within the confines of the heart
There lies a vessel of insatiable longing.
Fed by a vial of hope and remembering
Filled by events of the daily detail
There, in those sacred confines
Is the secret of wholeness of the soul.
Memories of children needing attention
Meals eaten strengthening the body
Conversations of trivia revealing the heart
Sharing the past, anxiously anticipating tomorrow
Life goes on. The new replacing the old
Yet, that vessel of longing holds each holy moment
And the soul cherishes all that has been.
It is the masterpiece of life we call love
How sacred are those times, events, persons
Who have made it all our life.
Happy Valentines Day!
