Binding Lives Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Long lasting memories of your eyes meeting and hugging
mine.
Straddling fences, going for walks, talking, all spent
in time, holding hands and eyes of one another.
Love binding our long stares into future memories,
awakened when we are no longer here to hold onto each
other in ways we are accustomed to.
Patterns filter and crisscross through the years,
fitting all pieces together, blanketing us protectively
all the years we are here together.
