Promise

When day looms long,
heart too small to hold it,
Earth, too, pensively looking
at the stars,
I find it works
to encourage
a reluctant smile.
See how the universe
grins back?
“Oh, my darling
Did you believe for
one moment
I’d divorce you?
You are my beloved.
Come now.
Step closer.
Let us renew
our vows.”
