A Dream

The promenading doors unfold smiles,
like each piece of glitter in the sky,
the white glimmers for miles.

My foot anxiously steps forward,
erasing the distance from me to you-
the lace flows easily as I choose.

I choose you my one,
as those creases meet your cheekbones,
that smile spreads light through the stained glass
and into my heart sending warm chills that won't pass.

With my arm locked to safety,
I look to my left with ease
for this day will be a fresh breeze.

Finally I can breathe,
inhaling for a rush of peace-
my home is right down the aisle
in just one piece.

Fitting together,
we have dreamt about this day-
the yellow stripe down your leg,
the grin on the DJ,
a familiar face.

Children are dancing
to the beat you create,
with the sweat seeping through the tux,
your shirt gets untucked.

At our house nothing surrounds us
but the grass and quiet summer nights-
with a brilliant glow in sight,
others gaze in through the window
to stare at what is right.

One man is rolling around on the floor
with his children,
painful laughter sends them to rest-
as one woman smiles to the beat in her chest.

There was this woman,
lying next to this man-
with one palm on his chest,
she knew the rest.
