Tales From The Nest: Seven Blissful Years

Time flies when you're married to your best friend!

I love you honey; thank you for being my everything and for loving me so much.

Here's to forever with you!

And here's to looking forward to our ten year anniversary in London in three years!

Sleeping in the Forest

I thought the earth remembered me,
she took me back so tenderly,
arranging her dark skirts, her pockets
full of lichens and seeds.

I slept as never before, a stone on the river bed,
nothing between me and the white fire of the stars
but my thoughts, and they floated light as moths
among the branches of the perfect trees.

All night I heard the small kingdoms
breathing around me, the insects,
and the birds who do their work in the darkness.

All night, I rose and fell, as if in water,
grappling with a luminous doom. By morning
I had vanished at least a dozen times
into something better.
