SURREAL VALENTINE

 

"Love is a symbol of Eternity ... 

but soon or late Death 

shatters that illusion." 

- Irene Dupre

So many hearts have been scarred by

the lethal grasp of Covid-19,

tearing apart 2 hearts 

that had become one.

After 13 months of Covid Isolation,

Valentine's Day can be terribly lonely.

"All I want is a hug," some lament.

"The touch of another 

caring hand on mine."

Small acts of kindness to others

can pull us out of 

our loneliness and isolation.


Love is around you always ...

just perhaps not in the 

form you think of as love

Pets. work friends,

old friends from childhood.

Solitude can bring peace

if the mind can find 

embers of past love

to recall.

Do you know someone who is lonely,

missing a lost loved one?

Take a moment this

Valentine's Day

to touch base with them,

to let them know 

they are not forgotten.

that they matter to someone.

  1. Hi Roland - glad you're a bit more settled ... we need to look after each other and remember others' needs ... especially in these times. Look after yourself and Midnight - all the best - Hilary

    1. Unsettled is more like it... I am on solo call with a severe winter front bringing rare snow, ice, and strong wind gusts. Most drivers here do not know how to drive on ice and snow ... and we are warned of a 3 inch accumulation of both. First double hurricanes, now this deadly winter storm. Mother Nature seems intent on ending me. Wow.
