You and I
together
Make an arc of golden light
A hearth, a home
And the warm bright
aura of its circle
Halos each of us
throughout our disparate days
And it is right to understand
that such a glow
will cast its comfort
further than the bounds
of you and I
It’s fitting that our love
Light up the sky.
