Five Years
In your dream
you landed in a grassy meadow:
green, lush and verdant.
Searching and finally finding.
Arriving in a perfect place,
content and settled at last.
These five years of marriage,
and the five before,
have been an exploration
of connection and touch,
intimate kissing, private laughing,
and tender dancing.
Our heart threads became interwoven,
and we are not the same anymore.
In time’s pervasive pull, we have found home.
Five years of flying together.
Five years of discovering goodness.
Five years of landing solidly in our dreams.
