Love

There is nothing deeper than love,
bottomless pit of desire and despair.
The true connection that comes from the heart,
never dies.

An open heart gathers thorns and stones,
anything the storms blow in,
and love.
Sometimes you have to sort through the debris
to find the gems.

The light of love is shining from the window of my heart.
Love is never too early;
everything is a deep foundation for the future.

And so it Goes (Haibun)

Rainy day and troubles, sick dog, messages from a friend. Sigh. Things and things and things to do. And so it goes. Even in gray, the sun dawns. The healing pulse helps. Listen to the voice within. You. can. do. this. It's a dark heart day. Stir your coffee. Stir your mind as well. Start again. © Christine Salkin Davis, 2018

On the Sale of Our Sailboat (Sonnet)

On the sale of our sailboat, dreams soaring away, on a run, in the wind, sad to see the horizon approach; the sun behind me shines a light on the breeze and me laughing out loud at the seemingly lazily floating by world. Past the mem’ries of days when we soaked in the warmth of the sun, glad to be kissing air, tanning skin, long brown hair blowing back, catch the wind, feel the speed, trust the tack. The elation of fun, when the boat caught a run, in the moment by moment days when we won the world and the wind, and our lives, looking back, the horizon ahead and our faith in our ride. Now, the blue's not the sea but our aging betide. © Christine Salkin Davis, 2019

Creation's Signs (Sonnet)

Ice beads on tree branches, lacy limbs, white fog sky. Silent cold of solstice, frozen buds and waiting, wanting more. Trust the fight for spring will win; life is always chosen by the curtain drop. Germinating, tight encased in fallow ground; warmth will blow in when it's day. Hazy sky will turn to bright. Seasons shift from snow to green and flow in new anticipated patterns, cycles. Young to old and seed to flower, winter's sleep to summer's fruit, living, miracle of death, deeper love from friendship's center. Good needs time to grow and patience, plot lines' tensions, resolutions. Creation's signs. © Christine Salkin Davis, 2019
