Traversing Joys

Most of the year our love is spread 

across time zones, our joys and heartaches 

 

and daily ephemera traversing deserts 

and mountains and lakes to keep us braided.

 

But some days, the best days, we weave all 

that magic into the same constellation 

 

at the same time, and celebrate the 

wholeness of being together in the same sky.
