A Few Days After

A few days after the wedding.
A cup of coffee in the morning.
Quiet talk. Hands clasped.
Life slowed down at last,
claiming the truth
that the ceremony, the gathering,
the vows,
were only the beginning
of the love story.

About the poem

Back from the honeymoon.

Our rings were custom made by Beth Moser-Duquette, a friend and maker of wonderful jewelry who lives in nearby Pawlet, and has a shop in Salem, NY.
