The Brightness of Stars – A Poem

*To my Beautiful Husband.

You have become a magician to me.

Time has bent and shifted around us.

I can still recall that moment

right before we said our vows.

As I approached you,

I could see a line of light that connected the two of us,

its glow showing me the way to you.

My stomach was so filled with joy

that the butterflies within became airborne

every time I opened my mouth.

When I focused on you to find my centre,

the light between us shimmered,

and the love we had for one another

filled the entire room.

When I looked into your eyes,

I could hear a song that existed only between us,

the air filled with the brightness of stars.

When we spoke the words that would connect us

and my lips found yours,

I believed that magic was real.

You are a magician because you help me

to see myself as I really am

and to find the best of myself,

even when those parts of me

are hidden in the shadows.

Nine years with you have passed

as if they were but a day.

I look forward to what the stars

can show us as the light between us

continues to grow and the possibility

of magic yet found makes our world

shine bright.
