Encircling Embrace [revised] Poem by Margaret Alice Second

A little message to translate, of marigolds
and chrysanthemums shining in gold and
burnished copper on a plate - André Rieu’s
orchestra playing joyously - my heart
blossoming in a new romance with life

Warm words shining sunshine in my heart,
feelings expanding, encompassing every
manifestation of life, swelling music of
Olé Guapa setting skin alight - sizzling -
feet tapping – stepping high to music,
held within an encircling embrace

Powerful invisible romantic feeling, all-
knowing, energetic, exuberant, filling
my being, loving presence radiating
comfort, understanding, confidence and
encouragement, sunshine of your
beautiful words shimmering, irresistible
rhythm of nostalgic melody…
