The Other

And she said to him, Tom, love

Life is long… you have no idea what the

universe has in store for you.

Or for me.

We tip our hats to fate.

Measure our steps in the sand.

Breathe the cold air into our lungs and just

be with what is.

And we keep reminding each other of this,

even as we grow older.

Even as time and the arduous, trudging

journey threatens to harden our hearts.

This is why we love each other,

this reminding each other.

And he said Jen, love…

Be soft sweetheart.

We speak the words and we run with the

wind.

Let the universe have you for now and

Don’t forget.

That life, it is long… and we know not what

the other will have in store for us along

the way.
