Philio


First, I saw the movie.

They called it The Notebook-

from a book, same name. . .

 I call it “Philio”, “Philio.”

 

Can we awaken the soil?

Can we love?

Can we reach. . .

. . . for more?

 

Does love give you more. . .

than me?

Does love give me more. . .

than you?

 

Can we both reach equally

for the fire in our hearts,

bringing peace in our lives?

Can we both say “philio, philio?”

 

“Love, love”

 

I love you; I love you!

 

Let us awaken our souls

to find peace in our hearts,

as God wishes

for our lives.

I am a retired high school and college professor. The last 10 years of my teaching was as a college professor of literature and writing. I have self-published one book of prayers and meditations and am preparing another book of poetic odes to faith and love. I am truly honored to be welcomed into this group.
