Notes About The Poem

Amaranthine

Amaranthine ...

A word that goes on ... and on

An endless maelstrom of matter, dark, seething ...

A sea of suns, heaven-ward, burning ...

Grains of sand, unique, precious ... infinite!

Countless snow crystals, drifting ... not ONE the same!

Atoms in the heart of a star - ceaseless!

Photons in a single beam of moonlight, perpetual ...

But the most lasting of all ... undying, immortal ...

Love ... truly, purely, amaranthine!
