Love’s Revelation
By
Joseph Anthony
So many flowers,
so many blossoms unfurling silken
petals.
So many colors—lavish and wild. Such proof beyond measure
the Beloved’s love for us.
Of course autumn tugs at our sleeves,
admonishing us to let go, to let the
oceanic mantle of the sky
bear us to the ground where we will
simply shine again.
Of course there’s winter, when petals curl inward,
fall to the ground, dissolve into
the earth.
These journeys too are love’s revelation.
For autumn blazes, like slowly blooming fireworks
cascading over the hillside. And winter, winter is spring’s still and
silent prelude,
where the notes gather on the
shoulders of sleeping angels.
And spring, spring broadcasts rebirth and transformation,
letting us know nothing is lost,
everything returns to us
a thousand fold in robes of dazzling
light and faces full of deep gratefulness,
spring is when angels awaken and
sing the day into flourishing.
Dear Flowers of Life, on this summer’s day after a long night
of wind and rain, share your beauty
and your fragrant jubilation,
share your visions and tears of dew,
share your voices
of silk and satin, share your songs
of sky and stars,
share your elegant openings and
slender stalks
so that the world may partake of
your ambrosial devotion
to the unveiling of the love that
dreams in the dark,
luminous womb of creation.
