Suggests greatness, radiance, power, knowing - "Love is the
only reality. It is not a sentiment. It is the ultimate truth that
lies at the heart of creation" Tagore
Daffodils
Looking around
you’re not here
at all, nowhere
near,
although I still gut-feel
somehow
and catch the gist
of you
enough anyway
to let go a sigh and
know that
life is good.

Dreams, of course, are something
(but shadows)
compared to green grass or thorny roses,
froth of hawthorn in early spring,
summer's lazy river bank
or cooling hedgerows brown in fall
when a nightingale rouses and carols
but, growing older
(not wiser)
I found a shining
- constant -
certainly you
my love.
Wed
Doubt not what this little ring meant
when it slipped on my finger last weekend
completing the C in commitment
part of a glory, an eight,
but that’s only the half of it:
a golden band – small - but still great
slipped beyond my finger’s crown,
while repeating some words - not my own.
But what’s it really about?
Can anyone give me a shout-out
on the meaning of commitment, or love,
haha – too tough - nobody can have
an answer, I hope that they’d blank;
it’s for husband and wife to work out

A poetry project to write 99 modern sonnets, each inspired by one of the 99 beautiful names of God from the Sufi tradition. As Blavatsky said - 'Words Matter!' - and so does feeling!! Some poems will refer to my son Andrew who has Down's Syndrome .... and every word, every facet, has to do with something probably quite ineffable -- Love!
