There is a point to living vertically, To being with one person all one's life, To diving 'neath the hapless, hopeless sea Where one might meet the wonder of one's wife. There is a mythic journey to be taken That has much more to do with time than place, That finds a fortune not to be forsaken, Measured less in pleasure than in grace. There is between us something more than passion, A longing for belonging, and a sense That here is love with neither writ nor ration, Tendered with the joy of innocence. The years pass quickly, though the time is long; To spend them loving well cannot be wrong.
