The Crossroads

For My Wife on our 6th Anniversary

I will meet you there
in promising solace
where the sun ceases not,
but tenders warmth evermore.

Where shadows pass
upon that lonely shoulder
without uttering a word,
and darkness in forgotten.

Somewhere, lost in love
between our world and theirs,
we travel together, yet apart;
destined to arrive beyond strife
where attested love triumphs.

Where our roads inevitably meet,
against all obstinate odds
we find ourselves, forever,
still young in love...

...at this place aptly named,
"The Crossroads".
