Together

Together
Valentine's Day 2012

Their paths crossed
and
then ran together.
With her bright eyes
And
her easy smile
Came their happiness.
Her marvelous magnetic curves
created an irresistable pull
and
a powerful push.
Their mountain climbs
And
their rhythmic embraces
made their paths run
and
their streams flow together.

Her white sequened gown
and
his shoe crushed glass
cemented
their unbridled romance

Years later
their children grown and
their fortress built
The always-bright eyes now wizened
and
the easy smile now confident
and
the marvelous curves just as magnetic
still make the irristable pull
and
the powerful push.
Smaller mountains are climbed
and
Embraces are at a slower rhythm

But Their paths still run
and
Their streams still flow
together.

Mother's Day May 13,2012

It is a special day in a special weekend.
The sun is shining.
The air is fresh.
The blankets are on the green grass
Two lawn chairs lay next to the blankets.
A brown box and chiseled stone lay side beside
Seventeen quiet family converge on the plot marked for ten
Words are spoken
Memories are exchanged
Wounds are healed
Tears are shed
Laughter is shared
Hands are held
Hugs are given in groups of two three and four
Birds are chirping and being chased by black poodle
