It was early days, year one.
Two dreamers at the

Stand beside me.
Make me stretch
my branches high,
transcend the morning sky
with me; don’t count
my rings and ridges.

I love you like the ocean’s roar.
In fact, I love you even more.
Yes, every stupifying snore.
I love the wind between your lips.
Your exhale doesn’t sigh; it rips.
(The breeze it blows could sink warships.)

no other bodies there to bend
the energy, just you and me (us…we),
begetting child-free memories to own.

When in doubt, just take a chance and
swing this partner round and round.

I am yours and you are mine,
grown together on the vine
of life and love and days well spent,
formed and fed by blessings sent:
