Sea green splash

I met him there
standing, shyly
hiding to the side
of the doorjam
peeking over the edge
just to see him
doing the very same thing
back to me

One look into my eyes
his eyes
and I knew
we both knew
that in that very instant
we were where we belonged
within this sight
embraced in time
distance traveled
a roadmap
of peaks and valley
hill and sea
sand and silt

Hand to palm
a joining
clasping pencil,
marking our journey
from x to y

Aaaaaaawwwwwwww, Sue and Ed.....
I didn't know this was back here. You know, LittleOne that I am so very, very happy for you two...and Gary is, too!!!! We know exactly how the two of you feel. Isn't it wonderful finally "meeting" (for real)? Especially after you have started out as friends, and then became best friends...and then fell in love. Nothing can compare with that, can it?
Love and hugs to you both,
Ethel

Don't you love it

the same page
but the same road?

The stuff poetry is made of and life realizes, if you're lucky.  You two make me smile.
