Triolet Interlude: commemorating birth/day


Love is a habit of heart
weaving its spell over time
holding a flame is its art
love is a habit of heart.
Strange, it begins; doesn't start,
stays at the scene of the crime
love is a habit of heart
weaving its spell over time.

Time is a habit of care
word is a habit of craft
walk on this path if you dare
time is a habit of care.
Trusting with feelings laid bare
tears taste much better when laughed
time is a habit of care
word is a habit of craft.

Care is a habit of word
space is a habit of dance
watching as clear becomes blurred
care is a habit of word.
Solitude's lessons are heard
here, when the heart takes a chance
care is a habit of word
space is a habit of dance.

Heart is a habit of hope
you are a habit of heart
tethered, as if by a rope
heart is a habit of hope.
Climb is a matter of slope,
sweet craves the temper of tart.
Heart is a habit of hope
you are a habit of heart.
