I was thinking about writing something that would have to go into the members' only section, but I'm not sure if I'm in the right mood to write an entire story, or something of that nature this week.

My mind today is on poetry. Not the contrived, and sometimes heartless prose I have written in the past. Something more direct, but subtle. The poems that we sometimes fail to see, or fail to write. When we appreciate the little things: the moments, the kismet, the feelings that fill us even if for a brief point in time, we start to see the unwritten poems all around us. The beauty in our lives. The beauty we sometimes take for granted.

I know I need to do a better job of seeing the beauty, but she helps me with that every day.

We walked along the sunny day
After Spring finally broke
The winter's haze
A car rolled by, windows down
Music filled the air all around
A Beatles song, we both know well
Demanding we come together, right now
And in this moment of happenstance
Without a word, or cue from glance
We sang together in unison,
Picking up the song in stride
Together, we sang side-by-side
We walked happily along our way
Singing together on a sunny day
And it is just a part of who we are
The poetry written by our hearts
How our differences compliment
And our similarities reinvent
Our lives, our love, ourselves

And I think about that moment
When our voices sang in stride
And all of the moments that you're by my side
A happiness unlike any before
A poem written in love
And a love recreating lore

Yesterday marked three years since we created these photos

We might say, given the way our relationship grew, and developed during that time that this collaboration was the cosmic kick-in-the-pants that made us both say, "Hey, this actually feels real. This is a thing. Go with it." At least, I know my fears, and insecurities needed that kick, and to get kicked to the curb.

So, happy anniversary of sorts, although we never really put a tack on a calendar to say, "This was the day we started this part of our lives, walking our individual paths together," I suppose this is about the closest there is. I still remember this day so well - you were brilliant, and daring, and brave. You put your creativity, and passions on a stage for me to witness, and appreciate. I was unsure, but wanted so badly to show you that I was confident, and that I could take your visions, and bring them to life for you. In the end, I think we made something brilliant, together.

I look forward to making something new, and brilliant with you every day. Just as we have so many times over the past three years.

Happy Anniversary. Happy, this day of us.
