Happy Anniversary

A meditative sun squints
At a cloud imbibing atmosphere
As stars blaze the quilt of night

“To dawn,” says Tick Tock
And the darkness rises
And their doubt shrinks

On the day that forever promises
A will to stop trying
Caution idles motionless

From the gardens of proposal
Walking towards a sea of matrimony
Love blossoms chosen

A bond is sounded hand and ear
A contract sealed to each finger 
A covenant resounds from this day forth

 As days advance
And nights are spent
Today is…
For he and she always.
