TRIUMPH OF SPIRIT IN LOVE, NATURE & ART

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I cry red berries

wash them with teardrops

so you can eat them in the morning

with your breakfast

as you listen so intently

to the news on the TV

I want lifetimes

with you…

Without you

I would be

shivering in the snow

in nakedness

berryless

bereft.

  10. A delightfully lovely poem. I love the imagery of the red berries in winter, so apt for Valentine’s Day. I also love the alliteration at the end — “berryless, bereft” Well done, Ellen! Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your love!

    • Thank you, Julie! We have our ups and downs like any other couple. I find the downs very, very hard and I don’t write about them. We had been through a lot before we met so we were ripe to help each other in ways other couples don’t usually have to… if that makes any sense. But thank you, Julie!! 🙏🏽

      • It makes perfect sense, Ellen. I think it’s part of having a real adult romance, the hard times I mean. You don’t have to be perfect to be perfect for each other.

      • Oh, Julie, you are so wise! It comes through in your art work and its accompanying explanations and in your comments. I know you are a whole lot younger than I am but you are wise beyond your years! Thank you☺️!
