I am counting things.
\nKeeping track of the one
\neagle in Columbus,
\nhow many oranges
\nas big as the moon I\u2019ve seen.
\nAbduction of neighbors by UFO\u2019s,
\nvolcanos erupting,
\nstars the color of rubies.
\nValentine cards filling boxes
\ncounted by weight,
\nand the years I\u2019ve lived
\ndivided by five,
\nwhich seems better
\nand less middle-aged.<\/p>\n
My love affairs with life,
\nclimbing exponentially,
\nwith prayers answered,
\nheart to heart,
\nso many,
\nI say, thank you,
\nmorning, noon, and night.
\nCandles lit,
\nthe omnipresent hush
\nof fate, . .
\nsettling.<\/p>\n
The bride will say,
\nI do.
\nThe groom will say,
\nI do.
\nAnd love will confront
\ntheir pledge.
\nEyes witnessing their union
\nwill wash in a sea of hope.
\nThe woman who is a bride
\nwill whisper,
\nin the silence of herself,
\nI am now a wife.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
