Weathered Poem by Jay Aguiniga

Baby, look at us together,
Tonight and every day after, we parallel.
It's like the change of the weather
As we ride life's carrousel.

The passion together, we share
It's like the fire fighter, on the wild fire,
praying for the perfect storm.
I know love sometimes brings,
a different kind of storm,
Layering it with ice crystals,
But like summer is to spring,
The coldness soon melts, and the flower blooms,
While the caterpillars transform.

From high above I realize,
We are just a speckle in this utahan meadow.
But as we spin and dance, I'm blessed.
Your warmth fills every inner shadow.

My dreams run wild,
Hoping forever together is a bit longer
Like wild horses running against the wind,
Each stride forward a bit stronger.

Baby, the weather might one day change,
But always remember a new season
Brings beauty to the mountain snow caps,
Which gives us more reason.
To take the path that is not driven
To climb the top of our heaven.

Together forever
We share, we parallel
We dance in the changing weather
Riding life's carrousel.
