Wedding Day
He can picture her in her wedding dress and she can see him waiting as she walks down the aisle
I can’t wait for this moment
My reoccurring dream to come true
Waiting for you finally my love can live
I’m getting weak with time constantly pushing back
Finding now that I can’t sleep
Helplessly searching for sleep so I could maybe make out the beauty of my bride to be
p.s. every time she is about to turn around my eyes awake from sleep…
Origami Crane Garland
Moments of meditative serenity
Crimping pleating floral white hybrid washi
Shaping and triangulating dainty folds
Stringing vertex wings of freedom symmetry
Garland of classic crane origami
Wishing long happy peaceful life

Wedding Bell Blues
Our Rabbi wasn't quite sure what to do
Had no lessons on this in Rabbi school
Lift her MASK or her VEIL?
Oy, our Rabbi turned pale
Just then all the guests shouted, "April Fools!"
Song
SONG
held close
in our hearts-
Only You sung at
our wedding long ago
for our first dance together.
"Sixty-five years passed- still our song."

Springtide
Pastels of flowers
oh to beginnings once more
light snow wedding day
lavender tulips rising
spring bride crowned in baby's breath
Queen Annes Lace
A seamstress’s aching hands were throbbing,
As the last pearl was sewn into the wear,
The dress was elegant and eye stopping,
A matching veil laid upon her soft hair.
Blue eyes lock on her own emerald greens...
Her walk towards him glowed with soft floating grace,
Their promises sealed and locked their lips,
Later their night alone goes Queen Anne’s lace,
And into passion the newly wed slips- Then arrives their future in hopeful dreams.

Sure Sign of Spring
Neither tulip nor daffodil
not bluebells on my windowsill
Not the longer days
nor the sun’s warm rays
Neither puddles to splash in
nor love's urgent passion
Not the baby carriages
or April marriages ...
But the roar of the crowd
The crack of the bat
O’er the land of the free
Baseball’s back!
Awesome Marriage

I Love You
I love you, you love me.
The wife of my heart, eyes to see.
Bad things past, old things are new.
Saying our vows, dream come true.
