A Poem for Valentine's Day

Spirit of Valentine’s Day

 Here is a bit of poetic musing to celebrate a new era of love — the high-romance that we can catch a glimpse of among balanced, sovereign beings: At the height of the magic, the wings all have sprouted; taking flight right on time, right on keyAnd yet, while there is bliss and deep peacefulness,How lovely if you’d fly with me The heart is a gateway and we are all thingsNo more cages, no trappings, no masksWhat once was all crass, is now clear and so vastSo, it is in this spirit, I ask… Should the fullness surge through you and wish to be sharedShould it be natural to reach for my hand,There is no divide – not time, space or landShould our quickened hearts call to be paired To know you’ve overcome, over-ruled, over- runAll the shadows, like an obstacle courseThere, powerfully, you stand with sweet love in your handRising to expand into Source But to dance, fly, touch, kiss, joined with this other,Given all you’ve mutually discovered,Clear as day, point of fact (or I’ll eat my hat),Innocence-lost must be finally deemed recovered. Here we may stand, taking joy in the sightthat we’ve managed to recover our light;Walked through the valley of the shadow of death —even in the absence of oxygen, drawn breath! And yet, while the view is quite fine, finally.How lovely if you’d fly with me -Natalia Rose
