I Do Not See You Often with My Eyes

June 30, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

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

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

A wedding poem from a friend from far away:

I do not see you often with my eyes,

But often you are with me in my heart.

We rarely speak, but there are deeper ties

That keep us close while we must be apart.

Friendships don't depend on sights and sounds,

But on the mysteries of need and grace.

You're with me always, unrestrained by bounds,

In some sweet field more permanent than place.

And so your marriage is a widespread glory,

Shining on a world of more than two.

All the characters in your life story

Share the happiness that's come to you.

No love but must with all love intertwine:

The joy between you two is also mine.
