I would believe anything
that started with you
that started with you
I--still--do
sure as any day climbing
for hours then coasting
down, on time
inside the churn of memory
time is a secret waterfall
of it all
the soft singing at breakfasts
battles opening voices
love closing eyes
oh, how we've danced our way
for twenty unwritten years
now going away
with the magic suddenness of deer
whose hoofprints are filling
with blowing snow

Happy 20 years of being in a wonderful relationship! This poem is beautiful!
Congrats
Happy anniversary!!! What a lovely poem to remember it by.
Happy anniversary! We celebrate the first date one, too.
Happy anniversary! Our is… coming up January 31. We met January 31 2010… I remember like it was just yesterday..
I don't even know what our first date really was, let alone celebrate our anniversary. Clearly we're not great at keeping track of important dates.
Thank you, Lisa!
Thank you, Gillian!
That's so kind; thanks, Nicole!
Thank you! My parents celebrate the first time they met as well...
Thank you. And congratulations on your fifteen-year anniversary coming up... this week! In some ways it does feel like just yesterday, and in other ways it feels like forever ago!
Engie, Perhaps the Prof. knows? He seemed to have total recall when he guest blogged!
What a sweet anniversary to celebrate.
I love the metaphor of deer hoofprints filling with snow to signify the quick passage of time. So apt, so beautiful, so evocative.
That's a wonderful poem, just lovely.
Happy anniversary! We celebrated 37 years together in December, our first date. CRAZY. I mean, if we had had a baby right away, it could be Stephany's age!
Aw! Thanks! We don't do Valentine's Day or anything, so I'm glad we do this one...
<3 Thank you, Nance.
I can't believe how quickly 20 went, and Jules, I cannot IMAGINE 37! Especially since you and Ted are just a handful of years older than us...
Not even sure of you being older actually, just a few year "ahead."
