A year

. . . . . for Sarge



feel the earth turning
toward that meridian

and the child you were
looking for the edges:
sky, knives, leaves, love. . . .

how shy we were
tongue-tied almost
trembling

one eye opens
the sunglight glimps'd
through lash fringes

heart runaway
simply t h u m p i n g
then still, so still

waiting
breathless
sweet

How well you capture those early days -- full of hope and promise, but mostly feeling the love that was growing within our hearts

My heart is still in runaway mode and knows no yardstick to measure its growth or dimension

Thank you my love for these beautiful words...they will be with me forever
