For the first time
In my whole life
I was given a poem today
Written by my soul’s companion
Keeper of every secret
Wishes held dear, fears beaten back
By her grace and wit
Utterly pragmatic
A golden goddess
Forever clothed in grey attire
She must
If she wore anything else
Earth would pay her homage
Over our paltry sun
On every trip we take
Mountains climbed, oceans travailed
I take her photograph
Her smile lines have tripled
For she chooses LIFE
Embracing the world, arms extended
Stepping lightly on her toes
To leave the smallest impression
She carries our pack
Up mountain trails
Weightless and sure-footed
With careful precision she curates adventure
An enviable itinerary
Of heart spark moments
Sunrise trek along coastal cliffs
To sip exquisite coffee
As the world awakens
Words she wrote years ago
How she loves me best
Completely undone
For myself entire
Most precious gift ever received
Neatly printed on lined paper
Folded twice
Best friends
Should always write each other
Love poems
