Ode to Six Months

Half a year, the tune of six months,
Love never diminishing, always
Growing. Daily addition. Little
Stuff, slowly contributing.

The circle of commitment, in fire
Forged strong. Darkened with
Mystery yet clearly marked. A
Code meaningful only to us.

Linked thus, a bond way stronger,
Than any earthly tie. Transcending,
Above and beyond the common marriage
Vow. Even death will part us not.

Neither sickness nor poverty,
Distance nor persecution shall
Keep either of us away from the
Other. Never separated again.

Nine long years of wait. One
Single incident, the fulcrum
Of change. Nine years yet only
Six months in your arms.

Rediscovering, nine years of catching
Up to do. Now we are here, this
Moment in time, finally arrived.
Looking forward the moment longer.
Until death and beyond we’ll go.
