As long as breath animates the body
My love lasts.

I take you in – breath – and for the eternal moment hold you
Holding me. And let you go again.

You are my taking in
My holding
My letting go.

Breathing you
I become more myself.

As If

In a dream on this wedding day
The years were gone by
And you could see who
You become

Your life laid out in choices
And you, the sum
The lover
A poet of breath received and given
Your greatest creation
Your opus, loving one another.
