Sonnet on Our Nineteenth Wedding Anniversary


Green bathes the view from the office window:
the neighbors’ house hidden behind low cherry
trees, taller maples, massive oaks and poplars
flanking either side of the frame giving way to blue
sky, contrail of a passenger jet fading in the distance.
The woods sway slowly in the sweltering breeze
as the day thrums into mid-morning. Dragonflies
dart for mosquitoes. Hummingbirds zip in for quick
drinks at the feeder, then bolt for shade. Red-tailed
hawk turns on thermals over the ravine. Blind locusts
rattle mating calls in the daylight where fireflies
will seek each other’s silent brightness at night. Once,
years ago, I sang my words to the universe, and you
answered me with your light. And then we took flight.
