Wondering aloud

how we feel today.

Last night sipped the sunset

my hand in her hair.

We are our own saviours

as we start both our hearts beating life

into each other.

Wondering aloud

will the years treat us well.

As she floats in the kitchen,

I'm tasting the smell

of toast as the butter runs.

Then she comes, spilling crumbs on the bed

and I shake my head.

And it's only the giving

that makes you what you are.
