January 2 ~ On This Day

by Chelle Wood - Cancer

On this day ~
the sky is dreary with clouds
and the air is frigid 
with icy rain,
but I cannot feel it
for the warm glow 
of anticipation ~

On this day ~
the hustle and the noise
of activity surrounds me
with a hum of urgency,
and I try to remain 
calm and focused
in the midst of confusion ~

On this day ~
I walk into a room
toward the man who has
been everything to me,
and I am overwhelmed 
by the perfection
of this moment ~

On this day ~
I hold my breath as I take the hand 
and gaze into the eyes 
of my dream come true,
and everything that I am feeling
radiates through every pore
of my being ~

On this day ~
I give myself to my best friend,
my true love,
my destiny,
and with two simple words
the circle is complete 
and I am whole ~
