the time is coming

There is this picture of you
Where the light
Of your golden eyes
Still penetrates me
Taking me back
To a time
When a halo of light
Surrounded us
And I knew
No matter how hard
This moment
With you
Was going to last
My whole life

I can recall
With exacting clarity
The nervous night
Not knowing
What to do
Where to go
How to meet
All the expectations
That welled
Inside our hearts
Suddenly combined
By the eyes
Of the many
Through the eyes
Of the unknown

It may have only been
A year of service
To a community
We would change
Forever
Who knows if
For better
Yet it remains
The moment
My soul learned
Exactly how
It should be held
Exactly how
It should be seen

A reflection
Of the golden light
A gift of knowing
The way you looked at me
Was the simple
Way I should always be seen
And the most complicated way
I should always be loved
As a Queen
Honored by a King
