Tasting these words that live inside my head and heart,
forming and shaping them, hoping to mimic truth,
allowing them to fly on the wings of hope and find you,

I become a wordless fool in king's armor, standing eagerly await,
embraced and warmed by your love while a menagerie
of intrigue dances with our future's shadow.

With triumphant energy you give daily--a full measure of life,
refining into gold what once was iron,
easing life's chafe, making a path to Forever.

Shrouding myself with your goodness and confidence,
I ride with you, a paladin, as we keep our love alive
with the brightly burning flame of wonderment.

Author's Note: My bride of 35 years is too much...I'm glad she let me on this ride-of-life, cost: my heart.
