In Love’s Warmth
A shining day approaches, the celebration of the day, three years ago, when family and friends witnessed the union of two souls beneath a lighthouse tower on the shore of Lake Erie. Our paths, separate and whole, met and became one in a way possible only through a desire to be complete, each with the other, no longer alone. As equals, we gladly followed the path before us, each knowing the love, grief, joy, hardship, and elation of the other.
Experienced by all present, our beacon of love could not be denied.
passion’s waves
flow from heart to heart
in love’s warmth
This is my response to Traditional writing: on a shining topic,
the prompt from Lillian at dVerse Poets Pub, which is to write a haibun
about “One Shining Moment” in the writer’s life.

Beautifully writ. I love the photo….the setting by a lighthouse tower and then everyone acknowledging your beacon of love. Making a commitment for unconditional love is indeed a shining moment. Thank you for posting!

The weather was questionable (rain into the early morning hours). We had a tent set up, just in case, but it was a perfect day.

Thank you, Kim. Lighthouses have always been special to me, and we have visited this one many times over the years, so it seemed only natural.
