A Day For.... Poem by Howard Johnson
A Day For....
An unsewn day rises from yesterdays dust
it's a new day to darn
a choice of many colors
Empty canvas
Or blank sheet
Awaits your brilliant mastery
What would love look like?
A blanket made of patches
A etching
Made eternal on stone or glass
Oh and lace
With its many holes..
Shapes of ovals
squares and hearts
cressent moons and stars
Or the beauty of nature
Streams, forests
Wind carved stones of sand
Rainbows formed from sun and mist of rain.
What would be in your heart?
As you watch the horizon..
The sky changes from dark
to blue and other hue
Red, orange and bettween
And twisted clouds with weightless flab.
And the blue of tomorrow
Awaits...
As it goes through....
The needle's eye.
'What would love look like? ' I think it looks like a beaming smile and a radiant eye and romping in freedom and brilliant sunshine and blushing cheeks and the sweetest music written in notes on a sheet and crystals and bubbles in diamond hues and everything else you mentioned too! Beauty and harmony personified... Warmest regards, Margaret Alice.

Thanks Howard. Your poem is simply excellent. It really blessed me.
To be given a gift such as yours, can you hear all the readers applause? There is not much more that I can say, other than you inspired me to paint love today :) 10,000,000/10
This is lovely, such great thoughts, so well expressed. As a grammar teacher, I itch to proof read the typos. Even so, the thoughts come across so lovely. Adeline
