Anniversary
Seven Turns
The blue theatre that is the sky turns red, then black, then orange
And as smoke signals, the white clouds sign their endless autograph
Our dizzy planet spins under the steady North Star,
Laughing as the sun goes by, again and again … and a comet, sometimes, too
In the dazzling revelation of God’s glory, who can journal a day or fathom a year?
Try as we might, what can we remember?
I do know that a child learned to read, and to swim, and to sing
I recall sweet prayers, and sand castles and somersaults
I remember ski slopes, and small groups, and reading in bed
Friends have moved, presidents were elected, and there were weddings and funerals
But mostly, I remember you
The carousel spins, but you stay beside me
The universe changes before our eyes
We notice it together
As I witness this world unfold, you witness it with me
And our particular viewpoints may never be that important in the grand scheme of things
But your viewpoint and your companionship along the way are very important to me
So important that I cannot divide them from my experience of life itself
So, here’s to you, my dear friend, my wife
I thank you for all you mean to me
I look forward to sharing more of our lives together
As much as I anticipate the morning, the lightning storm, or the changing season,
As much as I anticipate every single wonderful thing that is to come,
I will only be waiting to ask you what you thought
And to place your experience next to mine
In my journal, my memory, my life
