Waiting Hearts - Views from a Plane

Before I left for Nevada, I shared my poem 'Pulled Away' (January 2013) from my ongoing Views from a Plane series.  Today, I would like to share one of the new poems that I wrote on my way to Nevada (April 15, 2014) along with a photo of the view that inspired it.

Waiting Hearts

Silver Threads - photo by AVR

Silvery threads

Embroidered onto

Patches of quilt

Abstract pattern of

Lines and squiggles

Hides beneath clouds

As I am taken

To eager hearts

In the distant west

And you must wait

Alone at home for

Me to return

Sweet romantic

Stuffed teddy bears

Dance with white-hot

Chocolate ribbons

Love flowers in

Crystal vases

Tissue paper

Pink and gold hearts

Branded not by

Cupid’s arrow

But kisses from

Red satin lips
