Ten and Ten, Plus Two Janet Kuypers edited from 7 and 7, plus 18 07/19/10 maybe I’m not a writer maybe I’m not an artist maybe I’m an observer but it is as if the Gods are paying me back for everything by giving me you and with you I have walked on the tops of glaciers with you I have watched solar storms from near the Arctic Circle we’ve even held hands on the Great Wall of China as I said before, I’m only an observer and with these observations, I thee wed because I will never let you go I’ve seen galaxies collide I’ve seen comets smash into planets I’ve seen supernovas and the death of stars and in all of that, I still found you as I said, I’m only an observer but I’ve found what I’ve been looking for so I’ll tighten my grip on your hand because I don’t ever want to let you go Copyright © 2010 Janet Kuypers.
