all mumbly was my memory
with sparkly spots
here and there
‘til in dream awoke
bright and shiny
warm and pleasant summer day
and you and I
with childish hearts
hunkered down
on plastic ride toys
and raced on giggles
‘til falling over with glee
On the path to Nirvana
in the world of mundane
There I met a traveler
with visions much the same
The more we shared our stories
and lessons we had learned
we discovered mutual interests
as well as bridges we had burned
On the road together
for oh, so many seasons
my love for you just gathers
for quickened hearts own reasons
A blessing in this lifetime
My joy with you keeps growing
I’m grateful for you, my partner
and for listening to inner knowing
Today we celebrate 7 years of marriage. We have been recognizing that a lot of life’s cycles run in 7 year increments so we have been consciously defining the changes of our relationship, and thereby experiencing a great deepening of the richness of it. Happy anniversary, my love.
If I were to write a friendship poem
filled with joy, love
my deep appreciation
And hide it in the pocket of your shirt
or prop it up on the table
where you eat your breakfast
What a little thing
that would be
Yet shift happens
Like a butterfly’s fluttering wing
that one small act moves mountains
eventually or sooner
As you come to know a little more
how very much you are loved
