Once there was a wedding

Today is my wedding anniversary. The photos are of the principal characters. What a time it’s been so far.

This is me
was then
and you then and still

we

through dark sometimes
then now and will be
though clouds were
are
will come

and the rain is cold
the nights are always soft

through the wind
that shakes barley
and pearls into our eyes,

the wind
that blows all before it
even the clouds across the face of the sun
and away over green oceans
we sail with dreams still.

Some we hold already
in the palm of our joined hands

never forgetting

that this was me
is still
and you
we
for always.
