Days

(Or "Doorway to Love" )

With thanks to Martin McCarthy for the alternate title :)

Some days

meaning finds us,

despite our resistance.

We are rearranged by light.

We are re-educated by a forest.

We are restored to a state of wonder.

Those days

we learn again

what it means to see

the way we did long ago

when we first opened our eyes

and the world entered into us, utterly.

One day

we will come

together, walking,

sunlit and shadow netted,

hand in hand, heart in heart

through an archway, into a future.

This day

though, is yours,

before the ever after

that we may never see.

Holding, loving, breathing…

Being together, needing nothing more.
