there is a moment
when I feel our skin meet
that it seems like the first kiss
thirteen years later

you have a look
that is more than just in your eyes
but takes over your entire demeanor
when I walk in the door

I notice the subtle shift in energy
when we are discussing future plans
there is a detectable excitement in the air
as our creative power is locally legendary

each new day I wake and smile
knowing it is with you that I will spend my time
that it is together that we will face the challenges
hand in hand we take on the world

these moments, days, years
blend and pass in a blur
leaving us to grasp for each other
hoping to hold onto a single minute

I fear no end, my darling
as energy only shifts form
long after this body is dead and decomposed
we will travel the cosmos together as wind.
