To My Wife

Alan Harris

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.

All
