Her wedding was today........

[Wetzelbill]

Alabaster skin caped in ivory
Golden beam drenches the air
She illuminates the world at an altar
A future snapshot preserved forever

That day held my heart etched memory
She radiated an aurora dawn engulfing me
A smile cantillating nonexistent songs in ears
Dreams hold tightly as our arms grasp each other

I remember her as an early spring morning
Salmon sunrise flecks seamlessly across the sky
Sunlight coruscates filaments while shadows melt
Unraveling my loss of control, and for once words

Fitted black standing somewhere in Sonora desert
A man etches resplendence, hears nonexistent songs
My illusion ceases dreams burning springtime snapshots
Anthology keepsake, before I watch her summer begin
