To Ingrid 

I wrote this poem for my wife
for our wedding.  I'm glad to
post it as the first poem of this blog.

Who crossing kingdoms arch and arid

Wandered parched and waited empty

Who sometimes faltered, barely lucid

Lost in dreams of places where he

Drank her kindness like precious liquid

Who thus took strength from reverie

And headed straight where once was timid~

Who followed faithful destiny?

I did.

            To Ingrid.

Who holding close her spirit kindred

Let go of pain and long regret

Who lost in thought and lying languid

Took comfort from her silhouette

Who found his soul completely naked

Moved by the love that he had met

Who in the quiet night where we hid

Told his heart’s most deepest secret?

I did.

            To Ingrid.

Who consulted the wisest druid

Seeking to make himself worthy

Wishing to give her something splendid

A threshold to eternity

To grow a garden green and florid

A heart composed in purity

Who raised an alter and sent Cupid

Armed with love divine and earthly?

I did.

            To Ingrid.

Who gazing into blue and limpid

Felt tender as her cheek and brow

Who felt her light within reflected

Opening then this here and now

Shimmering peaceful, pooled and placid

Compelling him in humble bow

To offer all~  Anxious and avid

Who gave his heart with solemn vow?

I did.

            To Ingrid.
