Love Poem: Afresh

Afresh

Never were words
so quietly and powerfully
uttered with my
breath

than when I 
admitted that, 
yes,
I do indeed
love you

and I will follow
and lead
and tread lightly
and run hard

be both teacher and pupil

on this sojourn 
on earth with you.

We are now open to 
the promise
of a shared future
through sunrise 
and moonglow

moving with purpose
and fresh conviction
through the course of
all of our new days

there will always be
the thrill of our gaze

basking in the
pure lucidity of light
that illuminates
each other 
from
within.
