7 October 2009 Photo: My Personal Poet

October 7th, 2005 was our wedding day and four years later my amazing husband surprised me with a beautiful poem and gifts. It was the perfect ending to a VERY long day. I was still traveling for work and got home just before midnight to this freshly painted box filled with leaves, our wedding vows framed, a poem and other gifts. Bill was at work and I was in tears because it was so heartwarming.

autumn leaves

whisper and dance

like two leaves from different trees we fell

winds of fate blew us together

like two seeds of fire

spiraling...smoldering

leaves of autumn

shades of red and yellow

aflame

two lives...two seeds

bursting into autumnal bloom

falling together

in love

we whisper...smile

and

dance
