Wedding Reflections

Last weekend, while I was in Pennsylvania visiting my family, we were able to pull off a shower for my sister. She's getting married in August. Since she knew that we'd have the shower during my visit (and because she's super smart), I didn't think we'd be able to surprise her. And she didn't either! An hour before the shower she told her fiancé that we wouldn't be able to trick her. But we did! And had a great time!

The wedding preparations remind me of this poem I wrote several years ago. 

Wedding Reception

Lavender petals

    strewn across the ballroom floor


Deluge of light-

startling couples from their oblivious embraces.

  

Lingering,

then beginning to stream

    underneath the exit signs



Until there's only me and you...



Alone.

Whirling, Twirling,

beneath the disco ball

Lost in this eternal spell.



I'm working on a longer post about "Crushes" as promised, which is why I haven't posted much recently. Hopefully I'll finish it this week.
