This Day

It was a century ago
not a hundred years
but forever and a day.
This day.
The sun shone down
after early clouds
upon that green meadow.
This day.
The crowd below
waited and watched
what would happen.
This day.
We brought together
all these people
not just to watch.
This day.
It was a gathering
of the tribes
our friends and family.
This day.
We started something new
already filled with memory
and nascent dreams.
This day.
We laughed and cried
and kissed to make
the moment last.
This day.
That moment
that day
that kiss.
This day.
