As I stare out
into the late,
evening sky,
starry snowflakes
gather to meet
tired eyes.
They huddle together
to make sure I see
the message of love
they've so carefully
drawn for me.

| The Triumph of Galatea by Raphael |
For,
in a few hours,
in a few hours,
Cupid's arrows will
fall like shooting stars
to enamour all those
who aren't enamoured so far!
I, intend to stay indoors,
having been pierced
by his amour arrow before,
and though I'm recuperating,
I still feel quite sore,
so I'd better not
take any chances.
so I'd better not
take any chances.
Oh Poppy, I hope you rest well this evening and your heart heals, too. Hugs to you on Valentine's Day.

ReplyDeleteAnd Valentine - as well as every day - hugs from the Pacific Northwest (and sometimes Greece ;-).) That heart of yours, so full of love of life, will mend itself over time and I suspect it will be even stronger and ready for those arrows . . .

Dear Poppy, sending hugs your way, and hoping that you feel a little less "sore" each and every day.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear Poppy, I feel that I've missed so much of what you have blogged about in the last few months. I'm so sorry that you have had heartache, but I don't know what it is. Whatever has caused this pain, I pray that your heart will soon begin to mend.
ReplyDeleteI also realize that I had no idea you had moved back to Canada. I'm so grateful that you have many much more attentive friends than me. I wish you all the best in your return to homeland Canada.
Please, please forgive me for my lapse in communicating. I will try to do better. As always, your photography is beyond wonderful. You have an amazing "photographer's eye" for capturing the true beauty of any and everything.
Warm hugs,
Carol
