more Love than fears (for 35 Years)

Thirty-five years

of more Love

and Laughter

than fears

(though plenty

of tears for

situational sorrows

and relational Joy)

have left me

with fewer words

and more Wonder

at what Love

has joined together

that no one

or no thing

has rent asunder

all that might

have destroyed

and buried Us

the blunders

and thunders

of brokenness

and unspokenness

the flurries

of worries

about narrowing finalities

and harrowing Realities

and the uncertainties

of imagined tomorrows

the many things

that could drive 

Us down onto

the wailing Floor

that can also

remind Us

of the prevailing

Flow beneath Us

and between Us

that empowers Us

to authentically Adore

and dovetailingly Engage

in this erratic

and Ecstatic Dance

the Resurrectional Rhythm

of the Love

that married Us

to Each Other

and deployed Us

to bear It

and share It

with All Others

that leaves Us

with this chance

to offer up

Thirty-five Cheers

and Sighs

and Laughs

and (Hope-fully)

many more...

Thanks.
