This Leap Year

Truth wears a face as grace brings light, Hope flings a trace with space for sight; Ink stains now style fond smiles in place, Sense feel worthwhile that piles brisk pace. Live thus true fest with zest that glows, Etch touch of jest as quest frames grand show; Ask for due grace to ace fine feel, Prize time and space to face what thrills. Yield that bold poise where choice firms gain, End with stern voice to hoist heart’s strain; Apt that clear art that darts with ease, Reach each crisp part as start greets peace. Taste that full flair as air shows best, Watch how joy pairs most fair swift fest; Embrace this sea to be fond urge, Note soul set free that sees warm surge; Thoughts rise and fall with call you brave, Yes bear due gall and all ere grave. Trust love not late to date due charm, Worth floods your plate with fate that arms; Endow your space dear face with joy, Niche love’s fine trace in place sans ploy; Toil with deep peace as ease moves touch, You know the lease as tease knows much. Enter fond feel that heals brisk flair, Now and here thrill good will heart airs; Dance with the dream as streams greet light, Opt glimpse of theme as beams forge flight; Wit mellows cheer as clear mood flings, Sighs thus endear sans fear’s pulse string. Love and light flow in glow that sums, Observe the show that knows outcome; Vouch certain poise as voice now speaks, Exact due choice as grace signs peak. Leon Enriquez 29 February 2020 Singapore
