BECAUSE OF LOVE

Inspired by recent dialogues, readings, here in AD and elsewhere, and daily episodes in which, from shared sentiments of weariness, sometimes disenchantment, and even depression, because of hearts heavy with darkened visions – shared hopes and renewed purposes arise, nonetheless, bright, all-forgiving and pure, because of love.
- A tribute to those who dare dreaming afresh and loving further, with the innocence of a white and pink day.

BECAUSE OF LOVE

 

a white and pink day
with the absurd sweetness
utterly right -
of acid greens and other hues stirring
far from ripe -
all, and the lips and the smile
smoothly flying across the skyscape
of innocence –


that prodigious attainableness of eyes
gone to dream
with corrupt, corroded visions
pressing them down to the very ground
of soul –


and yet, blinking forth and up
from such foundation -
dreams cocooned, metamorphosed, then
airborne –


reborn into their essence
and that of breathing like the first blush
of an absolution, simply delivered –


because of love.

Because of Love the flowers bloom,
Because of Love the birds do sing,
Because of Love the sunrise comes,
Because of Love butterflies take wing.
~Joseph

"Love is ... losing one's breath
only to find it, once again,
in the kiss of your beloved."
~Joseph

This is another poem that dances like a warm breeze across the waters of the soul.

Joyfully inhaling your fragrant verse,
Teu Joseph

finely sculptured imagery and ambiance vividly deliver the message of this outstanding poem ... love is the force transforming "the corroded visions" of the soul ...

Is that a plum tree? I have one in my front garden, my daughter climbs it every spring and I take her picture in it. We love that tree.

Essence of spring, wrapped in exquisitely soft and delicate prose. I thoroughly enjoyed this premonition of things to come here in still cold Virginia. But even with a couple of inches of new snow the birds were singing this morning. I think they know something ...
Love and late winter{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}},

If you had looked outside my bedroom window this morning, the pink and while of fresh cherry blossom is all you would see waving in the wind afresh and revived from yesterday's Spring. You've captured my morning moment Alexandra...I'll carry it into my day and borrow a little yellow from the forsythia and the Irish Emerald.
Love,
Taylor

This write staggers the heart with just the right dose of promise that no matter what comes along love if it is true can overcome all.
