And so it is still .... Happy Birthday

And so it is still -  A Birthday Poem

Time flies backward
a tumble jumble of
indelible photographs

Until it is just you and
I again
in that white tiled tropical room
again in that first moment
breathless
washed in incomparable awe
surreal
that first you sound

shattering the barrier
of a just past Christmas Day
surpassing the speed of sonared light

and in one singular nano-second
forever beginning and ending my separate
self
forever melted into the illuminated new world

as I looked into your just
opened eyes and flew into
the magic of an unfolded Universe

never to return


Happy Birthday
then, today and always
