for margie and victor, may 13, 2000
your love is more
than eyes can see
lips can kiss
fingers can count
your love inhabits seasons
without time;
creates sunlight
out of dancing shadows;
populates worlds
with laughter.
your love blesses
the heart of the daffodil;
fills the lion’s chest
with wonder;
enlightens the human
heart.
when the golden ring
reaches its home on your
finger, another miracle
is completed––
happiness marries
daylight.
