Today is the day
i dream of you

Today is the day
i feel your hands
completing mine

Today is the day
your head leans against mine
as we watch Helios
caress Gaia with his hearthy fingers

Today is the day
i kiss your lips
to the sounds of white and black
clapping and cheeringβ€”
We’ve done it!

Today is the day
i press my body against yours
with a meaningful presence
of two companions like
two stars colliding
into a great Nova

Today is the day
We walk along the polished
floors of Magic Kingdom
Our child leading Us in a
panicked frenzy
too busy to listen to Our
calls

Today is the day
We smile down upon
Our Grandchild
who giggles and kicks
in an adventurous dream
of Hydras and
Knights and
Maidens

Today is the day
We bolster one another
as Our bones cease to
carry the strength
they once did
but will always
carry the
Acherous Tenderness
that engulfs Us

Today is the day
We are forced to part this world
as life has but a brief limit
the tears shed
and the melodies of life belated
as Two Doves
leave this world
for another journey ahead
for Us
once lost, but now Found!
