Day of Words

I just learned from Diane's blog that Nov. 19th has been declared a day of words and bloggers are challenged to post a poem today.  So, in honor of my recent 24th anniversary I  will post a love poem.

                                       Love's Philosophy

The fountains mingle with the river

     and the rivers with the Ocean,

The winds of heaven mix  for ever

    With a sweet emotion;

Nothing in the world is single;

    All things by a law divine

In one spirit meet and mingle,

      Why not I with thine?-

See the mountains kiss high Heaven

     And the waves clasp one another;

No sister-flower would be forgiven

    If it disdained its brother;

And the sunlight  clasps the earth

      And the moonbeams kiss the sea:

What is all this sweet work worth

    If thou kiss not me?

                    Percy Bysshe Shelley
