Two Souls

Two Souls

Measure the glass, half empty, half full.
There is so much fullness to gladden my heart!
The miracle is that two wounded souls
Could find the courage to love another.
Two wounded souls found a way to build
A highway to the future,
A twiggy nest against the elements,
Against predators of the heart.
I love you, my partner,
My soul.
