Valentine

She wears blue flowers in her hair
Freshly plucked from yesterday's garden
We sing a song
Quietly
Under our breath so no one will hear
It is in these silent moments that we become one
I hold her hand
She giggles
For one tiny moment everything is just right
We catch birds and stars and eat treacle under the moon
She wears blue flowers in her hair
Freshly plucked from yesterday's garden.

    How beautifully this reads Jae, those precious moments of love and trust stay with us for such a long time and warm us when we are down.

    A beautiful Valentine, Jae! I love the lines:
    'It is in these silent moments that we become one
    I hold her hand
    She giggles
    For one tiny moment everything is just right'.

    Simple as an old folksong, swaying in a still, true place.

    It is such a comforting rhythm to it. For me it feels like someone embracing and celebrating their inner child.
