Lingering in unobtrusive shadow,
a compass to the travel-weary soul,
Through no spotlight does love its purpose show
But flourishes in a predestined role.
Two dream weavers mapping separate lives
climb professional rungs and celebrate
accomplishment to which few dare to strive,
knowing nothing of their intertwined fates.
Like embers of a slow-starting fire,
emotion denounced reality’s frown;
Friendship ignited to heart’s desire.
Now they prepare for their union’s crown.
Miles of separation they did endure
Yet the magic of Love their bond secured.
