Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Always

image from ColinJong.com
Years
go by
You and I
smile and laugh
at each new gray hair
how we can't see small print
the wrinkles that have moved in
and  we  don't   bother  to   evict
Half   a   century   of   loving  you
yet every day feels like something new
