Eleven Years Is Not So Long a Time

October 21, 2020

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 https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

An eleventh anniversary poem about how love conquers time:

Eleven years is not so long a time.
Life goes on, and who knows what comes next?
Each moment writes its own persuasive text,
Visions in which will and fate align.
Even so, love can conquer time,
Not bound by what might come before or next.
Years, not moments, write the lyric text,
Enduring as two lives for life align.
Although in time one can't know what comes next,
Relying on the moment's reasoned text,
Sing of love, that will the stars align.
