One

cannot

rush

destiny

or fate

they

are

patient

sisters

which

glide

skaters

on

frozen

ponds

or

dancers

in

ballrooms

they

wait

for

extended

hands

invitations

to

waltz

patience

and

grace

deliver

isn’t

that a

the

road

we

are

We

were

once

now

we’re

forever

hours

separate

us

but

we’re

hand in

glove

body in

jacket

foot in

shoe

we’re

left to

right

salt to

pepper

vinegar

sometimes

separate

opposed

but often

found

together

we

are simply

love
