Something Lovely





For Allison & Jamaal, October 9, 2010
On the occasion of your wedding…

You laughed as you walked hand in hand,
climbing over granite, stopping now and then
to gather periwinkles and sea glass,
while all around, spring held its breath.  

The sky was a pewter gray,
winter-cold waters ebbed and flowed,
but the air had a hint of mildness,
and the trees were aburst with green.

Like tulips barely pushing through
sun-softened soil, there was something nascent
in the clasp of your hands, the tilt of your heads,
the tender murmuring as you passed.

Something lovely was just beginning.
