Mostly we don't think about our days together.
They flow along in sameness,
one by one.
 
 
 
But sometimes in spring
we walk through a field
and I think of blue flowers.
You hand me one,
as if you knew.
 
Some summer days
You tug at my heart
in the quietest ways.
I hurt you: you forgive me:
You open yet another door.

Some autumn days
My fingers touch the silver in my hair
and I grow uneasy at the thought of age.
You take my hand
And I no longer mind the years.
 
Some winter days
when the city looks barren,
the sky gray and cold above unending rain,
My eyes meet yours in windowed reflection
and I grow warm in your nurturing gaze.
 
The image of you stirs me.
The passion in you moves me.
You are so much my life
that my very breath whispers your name.
Then, once again in the stillness,
I believe in wonder.
