Being there~





The Sun lifts            unfreezing
    a beautiful dawn      around me
Some smiling icicles      open arms
    honor me for maintaining the vows,
               I made some 35 years ago!
The story gets told    many times over.

Our  love         - unlike the flowers
              never withered
    The vermilion-day memory
                       Still pecks at the hearts
Existence is magic.   
Life needs 
affection,
love,
laughter,
advice,
trust
togetherness
And only when one has lived closely    one understands
          The blessings of having one another  
          
Marriage gives a home     a clean, ultramarine home
   It’s as beautiful as     a sun-stained mountain  
       --Where trust flows gently like a river
         Rinsing…. gathering moments;
               The sights, odours lay imprisoned    in the core
As our own children     
        wrapped in a haze of summer mist, 



“And as ridiculous as it may sound, sometimes all any of us needs in life is for someone to hold our hand and walk next to us.”
― James Frey,

  1. How absolutely wonderful, Panchali, to love and hold a marriage which flows with the trust that love can bring! You have given that to your children regardless of what they do with it.

    BTW, I had to find your blog as your link goes back to Poets United. When I see you have put up the correct link, I will erase the first one.
