sadness is a moment in time and
joy is also, they come when they do
and they disappear when they must,
yet they are present when they should
like the sun light grasping the waves as
the dolphin jumps o’re them and the moon
beams kiss the sea, while the osprey plays
on the face ot the moon in the noir of night
let all this be, as life kisses me…
when the sleeping sunflower arises in the wake of morn
to greet the rising sun and it looks to its side and notices
that its friend and partner, long by its side, does not
raise its head its petals to also greet the sun, it realizes
that its buddy has wilted into the state of lifelessness.
does it lament for the loss of its partner or does it think
that it is better for this because it does not have to share
the sun’s rays, the dew and drizzle of rain, the breeze, the
bees and the hummingbirds?
as the day goes on the sunflower witnesses that the sun’s
light is dimmed, the rain no longer titillates its cilia on
its
stem, not so many bees and hummingbirds visit and the
breeze has become a bending wind. it then realizes that
all the pleasures of before are no longer present in the
absence of its partner that now lies down beside it, no
longer upright and sturdy, it now is ready to become feed
for tiny terrestrials and fodder for mother earth
life is a treasure chest, within is a treasure-trove
called Love
some of us will find the chest, not by searching but
by opening one’s eyes and realizing the treasure
that is inside
i have been one of whom is very fortunate to
have found this treasure and have been witness
to Love
these past few years, we have all been witness to
suffering and pain, to loss of loved ones through the
vicissitudes of life
the pain does not subside, but we must bare witness
that if we loved and were loved but one moment in
time, this grace bestowed upon us is more than many
i am grateful for this, and if i can, would like to sprinkle
the spirit of my fortune to all who wish to embrace
and sparkle from this
mostly, i would like to kiss the heart of the love of my
life, my partner, my wife for she has loved me through
all the ups and downs, my family also, although distant
sometimes both in body and mind
