Sonnet 1977 / Will Dockery

Sonnet 1977

In 1977 all was fair
that February, walking to the show;
we saw our shadowy kingdom draped in snow
and felt the creativity in the air
the night when, like a blessing from above,
we met beneath the silver blazing stars.
No challenger to sound the battle charge;
we knew that we had met in instant love.

On her eternal beauty I reflect –
at 17 and 19, in our prime,
expecting nothing but success in time,
We faced the future, seeing no defect;
mature in our intent, though young in days,
made confident by love and mutual praise.

Thanks Zod, I'll probably have to repost it to get it in the JLA Forums
archives.
