Resplendent Love
He stoops to kiss her hand, tender and true in the golden light,
wispy white hairs dancing, buttoning his sweater against the breeze,
autumn's crisp reminder of time, ever-falling with scenes of memories
played out through the days of his life with her - friend, lover, husband,
father, teacher, playmate, confidant - caregiver, soothsayer, and grandfather,
he bends to sit with her on the wooden bench in the garden, together they watch
the lilies and rhododendrons sway, listen to the buzz of insects, the tinny calls of birdsong,
a companionable silence blossoming between them,
in the gleaming courtyard they become lovers again,
stitched together always by hearts entwined,
their devotion boundless, their love everlasting.
