A Moment of Peace
As night crept in, snow began to fall
Lightly fluttering to the cold ground below
Moods were high, wine being passed from mouth to mouth,
Laughter erupting, cackles from above
The covered earth.
Memories created, lasagna baking in the oven
Fresh greens to remind us of Spring
Warmth, happiness, security
A time when beauty grows
Within yourself.
A hug from a friend, a kind word shared
The noble trust of years with you by my side.
Your smile, your gaze, your sensitivity to my language
Creating a wall that will separate your heart from your brain
Allow yourself to trust in me the same.
The television glows with comedic anger
As we move from room to room
Wondering if this moment will turn romantic
Awaiting the time when we will be together
As one.
Standing by the window, we marvel at the blanket
Of life, of time slipping through our fingers
Caught in the breeze, held still by the streetlight
Fluttering, for a brief moment
Reminding us why stand in unity.
An arm across a shoulder, cherished silence
Intertwined with love,
A signal of our future, the truth that brought us
Into the lives of the one
That we call our own.
Winter will move forward, the snow will melt away
But our strength, confidence in the choice we have made
Will stay with us through the seasons
Encouraging our happiness, blossoming with the new life
That will begin soon.
