So imperceptibly they show up,
the rings of a tree, and yet,
there must be a moment when
the dark line of the ring is not there
and then it is. So, too,
today, I swear I could feel it,
the emergence of another ring
inking itself around my heart
as my love for you, again, grew.
No one else will ever be able
to count these rings. No one
will know how love grew.
But I do.
