Around His Happy

She bent her light around his happy
A symphonic complicency 
Illuminating their velocity 

He radiated her in semicircular lines
She his rainbow in a night sky
Uncontainable so he let her fly

He flew with her for a time
His notes traveling along her breeze
Harmonizing within those upper keys

He marveled at her lovely
Grasped at the edges of her infinity
Felt blessed by her fluidity

Yet her light travels to fast
His to hold only for a time
Eventually light travels a straight line

The essence of her in moon lit sky
With angel wings she makes her flight
Around his happy she bent her light


Dedicated to Bernard Colasurdo after rereading 
the poem he wrote for his wife titled "A Love Letter"

Wow...so beautiful..a most endearing "dedication" penned with obvious heart.. inspired by an enduring love. Your words have a lovely lyrical feel which increases the harmony and "two peas in a pod" emotions that are joyfully "dancing" about.:-) Your glorious poem gives hope of what "commitment" truly feels like, for those of us still wondering if it really exists. It is truly my pleasure to read such eloquent writing. blessings to all, lynn I will now read your friend's poem.
