So, here is a thought about wedding anniversaries for your consideration... this was spurred on, as it only can, by a close group of friends: "Why doesn't everyone write up something about their own anniversary (or better, why don't their spouse do it)"?
Ode to an Anniversary
Caught between the extremes -
of differential perception of
identical things
of differential perception of
identical things
and the timeless happiness
of making life happen, together,
of making life happen, together,
Flitting between
the unconditional
hopes for their children
and her necessary
ascent to equality in all,
hopes for their children
and her necessary
ascent to equality in all,
skating on the thin ice
of being too much of a huntsman
yet aiming to reach
an equal share with her,
in the evolution of their
of community and family,
yet aiming to reach
an equal share with her,
in the evolution of their
of community and family,
A serendipitous union of minds begins
by a long weathering
of the razor sharp rivers
of experiences -
by a long weathering
of the razor sharp rivers
of experiences -
colliding, cavorting,
cajoling, testing,
cajoling, testing,
serene, flooding,
silent, plodding.
silent, plodding.
Until all that remains,
are the smooth
are the smooth
edges between the rivers
of personalities,
as they serenade the air
with mutual dialogue,
syncopating fugues where
the tonic and dominant
play alternating roles.

Now, long travels having been made
across the banks of eternity and forever,
across the banks of eternity and forever,
can be heard the resultant minor keys -
of their next generation's unbridled freedoms,
of their next generation's unbridled freedoms,
and their future's unassuming arrival
in the present.
