Notes
We walk through the galleries,
the map guiding us through the maze of rooms and jungle of people.
We pause
in front of a piece ten feet tall
staring
at the colors and shapes.
I question the rationale
the potential meaning
and you answer me immediately
once again proving to me that you are the most knowledgeable person I know.
I look over and watch you stare
as you explain your thoughts to me
your plush lips moving rapidly
and your sea green eyes do not break away from the piece.
I admire your concentration
because I know art is not your favorite
but for me, you come
plunging through the crowded rooms
taking time to stop and stare
sharing the historical aspects of art that I am unaware of.
You spend this time with me
time that you would rather be reading your science fiction novels
or going through the latest Neuron magazine
but still, you spend your Sunday with me
and show through your actions
just how much you care.
For this, my dear, is a true sign of love
spending time and honoring interests.
Enduring things less cared for
spending time
and sharing space.
Thank you!
