Anniversary


Twelve years in,
and forever to follow

I can hear your laugh
and every time--
every time--

it makes me smile. 

And how it is 
that my breath will catch
when you steal up softly
to encircle my hips

where I lean on the past 
and watch our future
crest and crest 

and never break.

This is beautiful, Sarah. Your lines speak a thousand words.

Happy Anniversary to you and your husband!

Sarah Hina said...

Paul, thanks. :)

Margaret, thank you! We had a lovely day of it. :)

Lovely sentiment!

Okay, I'm a jerk for missing this.

How did I get a month late to this? I blame 'Feed my inbox' and 'Google Reader' both dying up on me.

I need to get used to this new system.

On the poem: This. This is what I envy about you and Paul. I want this. In fact, a fraction of it would also do. I hope my Celine gets to read this, and "gets it".

Your Celine is standing somewhere right now, waiting for your arms to encircle her.

I'd just like to give fate a nudge or two.

(I'll forgive you for being late. Because I'm in a forgiving mood.)

You're most kind, your grace.

If fate doesn't nudge sooner... I'm joining the night watch. It's not going to matter much once the winter comes anyway. And - Winter is coming.
