H appy twenty-first anniversary!
A time both to reflect and celebrate.
P erhaps the years turn choices into fate.
P erhaps one chooses daily what to be.
Y et though at every moment one is free,
T ime and love join forces to create
W orlds in which we live, a passionate
E mbrace that shapes the will's topography.
N ow you are a part of who I am,
T he wheel within the wheel I call myself,
Y earning with my yearning, as two branches
F rom one tree reach together for the sun.
I ntimacy floods the inner dam,
R eaches out across the inner gulf,
S elf-healing through a love that sings and dances,
T urning two time travelers into one.
