We glide together
across the sky
on the back of our kite
and the defining stars
are in alignment
on this shining night.
Of course our dreams
came true
as love answered the call
even for those of us
who succumbed
to life's bitter fall.
The liberation
of defying gravity
can lift one's feet.
To lose yourself
in the moment
is to reject defeat.
We are bonded
by this gift
and continue to give
as two like minded people
with a passion
to live.
Handicaps,
you see,
always test one's will.
Yet the strength
in our relationship
is here with us still.
We rise once again
and touch
the stars.
In the cleansing
we are reborn
without any emotional scars.
So we shall remember
our magical night
in which we were wed
with two wheelchairs
left behind
at the foot of our bed.
