It Is

  Like a tall slender reed

I am rooted alongside a path

One that meanders lazily

Through a bouquet

Of tulips, daffodils and blue bonnets

Who like lovers

Are entwined

As they move in harmony with the breeze

Many walk the path

They span all ages

The young, the old and those in-between

I wonder how many are committed

Or will be

Will they hold hands?

And feel the electricity of another's touch

When they look into one another's eyes

Will nothing be hidden?

And as they hug

Will their hearts cover one another?

Will the beat that they feel

Be of neither but just one

When they kiss

Does it light a fire that never can be quenched?

As they walk the path hand in hand

Will they be circled by a ring of fire?

If it is so

Then they have committed to one another

For one’s burdens are also the others

I know, I have been there

Is there enough time for it to happen again
