Happy Eleventh Anniversary

January 29, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is anniversaries.

Today’s poem is an 11th anniversary poem in which the day becomes a still lake mirroring the couple’s love.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Happy eleventh anniversary!
All those years distilled into one glass!
Praised be those who will the things that last,
Pausing to renew them annually!
Years are music to which all must dance,
Ever changing, ever just the same,
Lending love a moment that remains
Embedded in the rhythms of romance.
Volumes can be captured in a word;
Empires, in a logo lifted high.
Nestled in this moment is the sky
Trembling, as two lovers might observe,
Heaven in one blue, reflective eye.
