Commitment.

I went to the the shop today to find the perfect card for the people that mean the world to me besides my husband and children. They have been together 28 years today. I searched and searched and could not find anything that can describe there relationship the way I see it(third party). All I can find were cards that exclaimed praise for a long marriage and funny joke cards that really didn't speak in detail about what I really wanted to say. As a third party eye witness to the time that these two individuals have shared together,really can not be put into words on a hallmark. It is not like they went to a church in front of God and the world and recited vows about there union or went to a justice of the peace and got paperwork stating that they are a legal couple. They met just like any other couple and remained a couple. Of course in 28 years it is not that easy as written "remaining a couple" takes hard work. A lot of blood, sweat and tears goes into putting together a relationship that can last that amount of time. A true commitment. A commitment that can break through different boundaries and survive obstacles that many hoped wouldn't. I wish them this evening and every evening of there glorious lives together that they remain that way. When I mean that way. I don't want them to change anyway that they are but to continue appreciating each other the way they do. To continue waking up at the same time in the morning and taking that first morning stretch knowing in the back of your mind as you take in that morning breath that that persons smell is lingering on you because they are still laying on the other side. Taking that sip of coffee the same way because the other is joining you.
Taking that glance at the cell phone to see the time or is it because you are hoping that at that moment the phone would ring and you could hear that sound that motivates the second part of the day. Don't stop committing to each other that feeling, those actions, the thoughts that have brought you to this point in your lives together. Congratulations to you and all those who are doing it.

Night...

Another eve has come to pass looming over me waiting hungry.
I lie awake wondering why night has not taken me into its slumber.
Night so devilish making its rounds amongst the
owls and the wolves that howl your song.
People lurking and basking in darkness wandering aimless.
Night so sensual ,so satisfying...
Caressing lovers making love taking in the darkness that teases there yearning.
There hunger for intimacy.
Night cradles the babes. I envy so...
Young babes fall deep like the cherubs in clouds.
Night you sweet gentleman or sly fox.
I sit and wait for my turn I lay and wonder.
