How much we love each other

An anniversary surprise

Pictured Rocks

Your gift to me despite your fear of heights

Let me take your photo

Back up you say

Take it all in from

First date to first grand baby

That woman just one of many

That woman you talk to late into the nights she is seconds

Our love is decades

Cool sandstone heavy

No one understands

How much I love you

In this our marriage Indian summer

What we have weathered

Ribbons of iron ore red, copper green, and limonite revel

Our love is stone polished

Back up a little more baby you say

You send me to the edge

I’d go to the edge for us

My knee the one that always gives me troubles gives out

I stumble back

My hand that has reached for yours

In the dark

When I’m afraid

For years

stretches out now

I reach, you run

You kick, I drop

Like a stone

Tumbling to the pebbled shore far below

No one understands

How much you love me
