First Year, for Jon

First Year, For Jon



How will we know

how long we will grow our love

How many years, how many moments

How long the sun will endure



A small sweet tree into giant

Oak, blowing in the winds of Yes

And you sent,

Stars and Moon,

Sun and familiars,

brought you into my life

my rock, whose heart was

broken and then

here



My voice of reason

Voice becoming true as

a hawk speaking

time will tell how long

but we do not speak with time

and so we will dance and rejoice here

Arms of love take us

into endless future and into today



but for all time

I do love you

with all my soul

and on this first year of that

dragonfly hawk day

I embrace all that we are and

all the Earth at our feet, the Skies

Sun who keeps revealing

the wonder

Its fiery heart.
