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.
A 40th anniversary poem in which the anniversary is a mountain pass on which one can gaze on both the future and the past:
Forty
years of marriage are a pass
On which one rests to see the view both
ways,
Remembering the valleys left behind,
Taking in the grandeur just ahead.
Yet there is far too much for one to
see.
Years of
youth must blend like distant brass
Even as love knots the migrant days
And time blows through the moment like a
wind.
Regrets and gratitude are here well
wed,
So much alike, one could the other
be.
