1977 - I remember the year like it was today. Newly nineteen and newlyweds. Your hair was like goldenrod. Your dress framed your body perfectly. Your lips sang to me all the way down the aisle. We were young and smart, not dumb, I think. You are still my sweet everything after all these years. It brings tears to my eyes when I think about how well we still suit each other. You make familiar look gorgeous! Thank you for trusting me and caring for me the way you always do. I sometimes get lost with dreams but you always do the best to make those dreams reality.

The Scales of Mountains
The scarves fourteen-year-old you tried on in Claires were the pressings into high school collapse. For you, shields were necessary for mere comfort of gaze (and being gazed upon). Later, hoodies took over, when fashion, just like bright lights, music, and mobs of strangers, sent your heart into a whirlwind. A single word defined this time, defined you, like new fainting spells in band class and sleeping according to vampires.

I was going through the stories I wrote way before Vocal and found a series I’d penned on the American movie industry. I covered the economics of making and distributing movies, the ways the movie industry responds to modern challenges such as MeToo movement and the streaming technologies, and other topics, including some movie reviews.

These lines sound like wedding vows. In 1977 I was very much still a kid.
What a beautiful perspective… very heartwarming and a special tribute to true love - ❤️😊
Oh! Very heartfelt one.
The best line is "You make familiar look gorgeous!" Beautiful poem!
