Inspired by Dave Will

(Valentine Villanelle Challenge) A RAINBOW FLOWER FOR VALENTINE I sow with love, and see my petals show. I wake myself in what I need not fear. I pause and ponder how love grows and glow. We see by looking in and out, you know. I hear your soul sing each time I am near, I sow with love, and see my petals show. Some folks we see excited, which are you? God set the stage! I shall mount softly there, And pause and ponder how love grows and glow. Love stalks the heart; but can you tell us how? The busy bee brings us the best gold nectar; I sow with love, and see my petals show. Good neighbors with so many things to show, To you and me; they love the lively air, And, fairly, pause by thinking love does grow. This valentine, I'm ready, I do know. What provides joy is always, and is near; I sow with love, and see my petals show. I pause and ponder how love grows and glow. * (Entry for Dave Will's, Valentine Villanelle Challenge)
