Water Wings
17 September 2006

To love you
was to walk on water
In being blessed with water wings
To care for you, was like to never not care
because you were the miracle of wine

Just to know your thoughts,
and wear your crown
To look into your eyes
and date on highways
or alongside tennis courts

To toss the ball in the air
and service that toward your heart
This ball of flame in warmth and fire
tumbling on its wave to your amour

For there you were in return
with your mystique to learn
How it was respected, an acceptance,
this love of one another, our passion
in a open desire to matrimony earn


“When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was
made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants
which drew the water knew the governor of the feast called the
bridegroom, And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning
doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then
that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
John 2: 9-10 KJV
