With Valentine's round the corner, have you planned a gesture of love for the special people in your life yet?
Nothing grand or expensive for me, but sending some heartfelt sentiment on this day dedicated to love is a must, not only for my significant other, but also for dear friends, co-workers and those whose lives are closely inter-twined with mine.
Not only is it a chance for me to show my gratitude to them for their love & friendship, it is also a reminder that I should appreciate these wonderful people who fill my days with laughter, encouragement and meaning.
| And, the die-hard romantic in me would like to share this poem with you. It never fails to move me - the persona gives voice to an experience of awakening that is so tenuous yet so intense and moving at the same time... somewhere i have never travelled | ||
| by e.e cummings | ||
somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully, mysteriously)her first rose
or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands
Happy Valentine's Day!
