You and Me

You and Me

You and Me--two broken vessels,

holding tight,

waiting for the glue to dry--a mosaic

of shattered beauty rising from despair.

You and Me--a team, equally yoked,

wading through the mire of grief and pain,

--tear-stained and weak,

finding strength in one another’s

empty arms.

You and Me--two hearts aching,

joined by an angel--

One willing to put himself aside to ensure

Our mortal joy

and eternal progression.

You and Me--unsuspecting beneficiaries

of love, carefully preserved and stored,

shared before winter’s bleakness

could consume our will to continue.

You and Me--two clasped hands,

cherishing memories of the past,

moving ahead to a faith-filled future,

learning to dance again.

You and Me--two unfinished chapters,

patiently shelved, now ready to discover

Our happily-ever-after

in the everyday pages of living.

You and Me--one heart, void of fear,

trusting this path of hope and healing,

--willing to live, laugh, and love again.
