THIS DAY

This is a day I will remember -

I feel closer to you than ever before.

Once we conversed like strangers,

Now there’s much trust and even more.

I am jubilant to see you happy

And proud to know you’re sure

Of years ahead and lifetimes

Together on one or other shore.

We will swagger through love’s jungles,

Ambling coupled as we explore,

Knowing our souls are tangled

Like tracks across the wildest moor.

Perhaps we’ve been in each other

All along as Rumi would implore;

Or maybe it’s a coup of chance

That bids us join and fly and soar.

All I see is pure perfection

In your face and mind and more,

Tendered as gifts to please my heart

And marvels for me to adore.
