Sun comes up and up we rise, together.

I lead you into town as always,

Linked arms a show of our togetherness and the

Esteem we have from years of shared love and life.

Near to each other, we walk, together,

Comfortable in the rhythm of our steps as one,

Easy in the quiet of our being as beings. Together.

***

I see these people, a couple, most days, walking as one. There is something unified about them and it brings me comfort, even though I don't know them at all. It is their love and respect for each other that shows with every step.

    Oh, but that everyone should live within this spell of lasting affection and care. This is lovely, Rachel.

    I love this and I love the story you pulled from them. So sweet! There's an old couple that bikes past my house together every weekend and they make me so happy.

    Maybe you should tell them, what that means to you to see.

    This is damn beautiful, budchum. I know the kind you mean, where they don't even need to be lost in chatter...just walking together. Well done!

  • I love seeing couples like this too. It makes me believe in love, for a short while. Loved your Acrostic!
