Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is anniversaries.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A third anniversary poem about how time matures marital
love:
Three years
together! And yet how much more
Our love has
grown, and blossomed, and matured,
Restoring
what commitment can restore
In a world
where nothing is assured.
Choices are
the children of our needs,
Hard put to
long survive on grit alone.
As the time
we made our choice recedes,
Roots reach
into soil that once was stone.
Days turn
into months, and months to years.
A moment is
the handiwork of time.
Now is
sculpted by past joys and tears,
Defined by
love in ways we can’t define.
Passions
come and go; love remains,
A choice
that wisdom proves and need sustains,
Turning toil to dance and truth to wine.
