I love the concluding poem of my trilogy of “arrow” poems (written over a span of 31 years), because it is so clearly about Marianne and me together.
I thought I had a single arrow Now I glimpse the truth My love and I have many arrows There are many rays from the resplendent sun Many words of hope and consolation to spread Many little deeds of love to perform Many candles to lighten the darkness Many joys to feel and share For this universe is large Its secrets beyond our mortal grasp And the pathway is long But we have much time to traverse it We have only just begun.
