OK! so we've known each other for a little while... about 16 years, 2 + 14 ;) and in all this time I have promised myself to write to you about what goes on in my head! But, for some reason I always either put it off or don't believe it's worth saying... I know you prefer the doing!
Morning Prayer!
Quiet rest
... soft sighing breeze,
a gurgle, a breath, silence ...
Rest.
Pwaaak! Pwaaak! Pwaaak!
Click, rustle, bump bump, mumble.
Dawn, gown then fresh, dark roast Java!
"Aww Ma!" "Vyf Minute!" "Tandeborsel, hare!" "Het jy al pap geëet!"
"Love you!" "Kom dis al sewe uur!"
Phew!
Rest...
But you also like Quality Time!
I shall not compare you...
The Reflection of you in the mirror
gives poor insight,
Your Silhouette on the wall
has a better idea,
The Shape of you in my life
is perfect!
Reflections are what we choose,
how we let the world see us,
win or loose.
A Silhouette is an outline sketched,
portrayed in black and white,
a private moment etched.
Your Shape by God created,
with form and depth complete,
my search is sated!
16 years have come and it seems like yesterday my love that we set off down this road. Such a short time these 16 years! We have an eternity left my damsel, and I cannot wait for all the adventures we'll have, the battles we'll join forces to fight! Tell the squire to polish my armour, sharpen my lance, send for my steed, let sound the trumpets and lose the hounds! I ride!
Happy Anniversary my Love!
