Valentine (For My Wife)

That I could ever cease to love you dearly; How possible is this? As possible as wearing water Possible as eating air As stacking Space As folding Time Possible as going on happily without you As possible as outwitting God. What is being loved by you like; How does it feel? Like happy five year olds on Christmas morning Like redemption for the Damned Like being found when lost Like the end of war and famine Like health come back to the invalid Like everything accepted and complete. And what are we together; The Sum above the parts? We are the feeling always striven for We are the impossible balance acheived We are the hope that no one speaks of We are the dream no one believes We are the level holding everything We are the reason to go on. So this is how I love you; How it shall ever be.
