Mellow Legacy of Truth

Life.

It makes no sense

Except for this -

It works!

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

Perhaps, my dear -

I may understand you

Clearer than it may appear.

Sometimes the heart can hear

Pulses that escape the ear.

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

Is that angels' wings I hear?

Is love so near?

Yet I can't touch it?

Why not?

Can't it appear

So I can be whole again

And know?

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

If I count my treasures

They are many.

Those that cannot be counted

Are the best.

Beauty is

What's alien

In what's

Familiar.

Enigma,

Paradox.

A man

Is no man

Who isn't.

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

So full am I

Of life and joy

And desire to

Share it.

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

I would come to you

Again

As often as I need to come

To get inside.

But if you want me not

And turn me off

I will not come again.

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

You came into my life,

My life

With no past or future

And little but

A fleeting present.

You gave into my life

Meaning,

A precious past

When you were near,

A future to anticipate,

A present sweetened

With its thoughts of you.

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

When I know you best,

I can describe it least.

At this moment,

I know.

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

You are like

Apples on an apple tree,

Or sweet peas on

A sweet pea vine

What else would one expect?

How glad I am you're mine!

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

If I could speak to you today,

What would I say?

Hasn't it been said in every way

Before?

Am I to simply listen?

And is it silence I must hear

Forever?

I cannot bear to never

Hear your voice again,

Nor feel your presence.

And fantasy cannot sustain me.

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

What is it that troubles you?

What fires have seared your soul?

What froze your mercy

Outside

Your

Heart's

Door

And blocked

The passageway inside?

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

One face

One voice

One smile

One pair of eyes

One pair of hands

One silver head.

One hope

One faith

One love

One need

One world

One man -

I cherish.

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

Words

Would

Break

The spell.

The music and the silence

Speak for us who

Recognize the soul.

You know what I mean

And you hear well.

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

But you forgot

To turn the sun on

For me today.

And since you went away,

The moon has gone to sleep

In someone else's shadow.
