Every day's
A beautiful
Beginning.

PERSPECTIVE
"I'm with her", says he,
"I need the afterglow".
Then why'd you flee?
"It's singeing! How could I know?"
He claims.
She strolls along and hums a tune
And smiles her little grin;
Upon her path that's flower-strewn,
That glow she shared with him
Remains.

Lady - A tribute to Audrey Hepburn
Love ~
Star-kissed.
Sun-burst,
Celestial.
You are heaven.

things that count . . . . the simple stuff
Ah!
Love is
The sustenance of angels
And if we mortals
Thrive on it
A little bit,
Perhaps
We're more divine
Than we supposed.

The perfect way
To start the day
Is in your arms.
Secretly, I do.
______© Nellieanna H. Hay
Quiet certainly
Lazes in its sun,
Smiling frequently.

3.
Coming into life a blank,
Finding out 'the score';
Discov'ring it's not that at all,
It's really people evermore, -
Always, ever - are aglow.

1.
Languid - lively;
Open - closed;
Lit-up - darkened;
Heaven knows, -
Yet always - is aglow.
2.
Aware - confused;
At peace - distressed;
Knowing - wond'ring;
Have been repressed, -
Yet - always - am aglow.
A-glowing white,
A steaming mist,
Streaming all around;
Shimmering, glimmering
Against its verdant,
Flow'r-strewn background.
Halo of light
Straying to and fro;
Swaying, so to tease;
Blissfully playing,
Joyfully frolicking
In slightest summer'y breeze.
Touching tenderest
Dreams and fancies;
Magic sweetness
Conspires to tell,
Compelling, completing,
Delighting lovers in its spell.

CONFESSION
I'm not too old to blush
When caught
In my clown suit,
Blowing bubbles
Or feeding
Invisible peanuts
To imaginary chimps!
______© Nellieanna H. Hay
Like bubbles
Lavished on the wind
We live in ephemeral splendor,
Surrendered to our fates,
Mostly self-contained
In wispy isolation.
If we chance to touch,
It shatters us!
Yet sometimes ~
Oh! Sometimes! ~
Touching happens
Perfectly, ~
So we become,
Together,
A single membrane
Strong against
The wind forever.
