Valentine

Happy valentine’s day; no matter your circumstance today, you are beloved, more than words can say. In the meantime, my valentine said I could share this with you:


The undertow sucks sand from underfoot,

but I stand firm.

Wild horses swim across the strand;

I will not follow.

Turtles play; I tear myself away

even from them:

The rising tide of my love for you

runs ever full.
