Curtis Johnson Poet Prose Poetry

Happy Birthday, Honey

I traversed the tunnel of time,
never looking to find gold or silver.
I sought one alone with whom to celebrate.

I traversed the tunnel of time,
hoping to uncover some treasured past.
Instead, I found lots of familiar numbers.
I saw the numbers 13, 20, 22, and 50.

I traversed the tunnel of time
and also spotted 1949, 1950, 1970, 1972, and 2022.
I said to myself, " What is it about these numbers?"
The time tunnel replied to me, "The numbers are about
love, you and her, a happy birth, and a happy life.

I traversed the tunnel of time
and saw yesterday as well as today. I saw a most
loving face filled with grace. Without hesitation or
reservation, I reached out and embraced one whom I have
called 'Honey' for more than 50 years. She is the love of my
life who in 2023, in the 3rd month, on the 13th day, is turning 73.
