Valentine for Natalie

Valentine for Natalie
by Jonathan Potter

Mon amour
St. Valentine
Opened the Door
And let us in
To be alive
With love and skin
Not just survive
But drink the wine
Of you and me
And eat the bread
Of mystery
And so to bed
To make such love
The angels gather up above.

It’s my sixtieth trip around the sun this year. I share some wisdom, some photography, some poetry and prayers for the journey ahead.
