On our Anniversary


Back to back in bed

heat radiates.

No flesh touches,

but the warmth of your being

invades my body.

The solid rock

at my back

is not cold

but filled with the warmth of your spirit.


I move closer to feel

the comfort you give

even while you sleep.
Today is twenty years that we have been married. For more of my reflections on our marriage (from 2 years ago), see this post http://goniagleanings.blogspot.com/2007/06/18-years-of-wedded-bliss.html
