Met Yesterday and Today We Are

We met beneath the soft and shifting light, 
Two strangers caught within a sudden gaze,
The world fell quiet, turning from the night, 
As autumn gold dissolved in summer’s haze. 
The weeks flew by like birds upon the gale, 
With every word, a deeper bond was spun, 
No need for time to write a longer tale, 
For in your heart, I found the only one. 
Though seasons barely turned their heavy wheel, 
Three months of grace were all we had to wait, 
To set the sacred promise that we feel,
And seal our souls before the hand of fate. 
In winter’s dawn, we stood to pledge our vow, 
One life began, and here we flourish now.
