As I lay here beneath the trees,
I watch the dazzling stars as they perform their dance of light.
They sparkle as if in celebration because they know!
They know that for me the world has ceased to spin,
Or if it is spinning I have realized it for the first time!

He is here with me!
Right here next to me is my love!
He is mine for he has just claimed me as his,
And we are one together for we are each other’s.
I live with him, for he gives me a new life.

Together, we are more than we ever were apart.
We combine not only our thoughts and actions,
but also our fates.
We have changed for it is no longer My future and His future,
But it is Our future.

With the warmth of his body next to mine,
We are laying here intertwine.
We now live, and are alive!
Our purpose to fulfill,
That is where we strive!

Elizabeth Middleton
