The Anniversary

Her Love persisted

Fourteen years is a long time to be married she sang to the stars.

How will we do it for another fourteen? Or twenty-eight?

Together they sang back.

We don’t know how yet, but I want to learn

Together

Love tangles; twists; and gropes in the night

This marriage soars, bumps, and loses direction in the fog, but never gets lost

Together

We find our way

Together is a compass. Together is an absolute. Together is our ultimate truth.

She looked to the stars for the answers, but only found vastness and glimmers.

She looked in her heart and found warmth and a knowing

It would all work out as it should

Together.
