Day 25 - OctPoWriMo 2013: Four Seasons of Celebration



 Today's prompt asked us to think about important celebrations in our lives. My spouse Judy and I have reason to celebrate in each season of the year.


Four Seasons of Celebration

Winter
New Love
bloomed and reigned
Amid holiday holly
And we became one

Summer
Commitment
signified and celebrated by gold rings
chosen, presented with words of love
And we became one

Spring
Vows spoken
promises before witnesses
at the Wedding in the Orchard
Where we became one
‘Til annulled by the state


Fall
Election Day looming
Prop 8 threatening against love’s bond
Our re-wedding in October beat the vote
And we became one
Forever, this time
