Love Sonnet

Remember the music, the dance.
The meeting of the mind, the touch,
of medicine, the legal parlance,
of Tanduay rum,fisherman's fresh catch.

Remember those three words whispered
were not written in the white sand
but the flowers,bees and birds heard
and joy and laughter filled the land.

The distractions of today's world
lead us to hostile disregard
for the great treasure not explored

have found no place in our innards
yet hidden in the every day strength
is the power of the greatest of bards.

-Greg In. Trabanca
