NEWLYWEDS

A lazy lunch.

I watch two lovers

at a nearby table.

He sits

a light breeze ruffles silver hair.

She stands

steps back

phone in hand

horizontal

and takes his picture.

The biggest smile is

on her face.

His is gentle

as she takes a second.

I cannot hear their private words

so as I leave I beg their pardon

and ask “Are you newlyweds?”

Only partly in jest.

He chuckles.

"Forty-eight years ago

we were."

"Just a couple cute kids

enjoying a beautiful day!"

I say.

"Enjoying life."

She says

with a wink

in her voice.

"That’s what it’s all about!"

Was it always sun and sweetness

for those 48 years?

Maybe. Maybe not.

Do they have

lessons

wisdom

secrets

for us mortals?

Of course

they must.

But everything was said

with the click of a shutter

and the way he slid

his wine

across the table

for her

to taste.
