Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is how marriage both needs and creates a community of love.
Today’s poem is an anniversary poem about how a couple’s love affects everyone around them.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
Yours,
Nick Gordon
How both of you are voices of one song!
As counterpoint makes one soul out of two,
Pleasing to the heart in all you do:
Praising love with music clear and strong.
Your harmonies our faith and hope renew
As beauty like a wave sweeps over wrong:
No act of love can fail to touch us long,
Nor cold, dark anger fail to undo.
In coming years your love will only grow.
Vistas shared will open up behind.
Each kiss will glisten in the early dawn,
Reminding you of stars long tucked away.
So may your years of happiness bestow
A gift of sunlight warm, serene, and kind,
Revealing love of pride and passion shorn,
Yet basking in the glow of golden day.
