The inspiration behind my poem, "The Gift That Is Our Love" is the union of Maritza Cano and Henry Buitrago.
The gift that is love,
A flash of flame that flickers,
This wealth of enormous emotion,
A deafening crash that renders the air weightless.
The gift that is love,
With these rings of unity, forged -
A quivering mass of promise and hope,
Two human lives reach towards the unknown.
The gift that is love,
In turbulent times, with unforeseen challenges,
Though the flame stays strong - and maintains the course,
The blood of two, hand in hand.
The gift that is love,
Two brought together by one,
Fastened by association; by His love,
Two human lives reach towards the unknown.
The gift that is love,
Each is the others' strength,
The strength of enduring love, united and unbroken,
A family, our family, is a circle, forged and joined -
With a wealth of life's memories.
The gift that is love,
The love that lives inside our hearts,
That traveled a great distance, through the stretches of time,
Full of an earned integrity and stature that soothes,
The blood of two - of two that love.
Two human lives reach into the heavens.
This is the gift that is our love.
