To My Wife
Your glance is beautiful
when I muster the calm
courage to look you
in the eye.
Your voice sounds
like a symphony
when I listen to all
of its overtones.
Your heart sings
like a canary in a
cage, heedless of
supposed captivity.
You light a candle
behind my eyes
which illuminates
my gloomy mind.
Together we plunge
down this life's waterfall,
two drops on our
way to the sea.
We will not forget
these days nor want to.
Our love has no relation
to time or place. We love.
