HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

10/11/2019

Like a child before Christmas, I’ll lay awake and wonder about what I might find in the morning...

Will I wake up alone at the end of a dream, or will this wonderful slumber continue?

Will I find you again when I open my eyes, or will the sandman have broken his beautiful spell?

Are the memories and beauty that you’ve shown me just wishes come true in some dust land fairytale? Or are you really there, and still playing captor to this old heart of mine?

If my dream is over, then I’ll forever cherish the beauty and magic that I’ve seen... that you’ve shown, that you’ve shared...

But if this dream is to continue... if I find you wrapped in these arms when the sunshine kisses the sky, if your smile and starry eyes are still the first things to illuminate our morning, and if you’d care to hold my hand for another trip through the stars...

Then I’ll smile and find content, lost in the beautiful dream that you’ve made for me.

About Burke

Burke is not a writer, author, poet or even a very good story teller. He just believes in this amazing shared experience that we are all cast into.

Lori (Burke's mother) began teaching him to read and write at a very early age. When Kindergarten started, Burke was already reading newspapers (he had a strange interest in the obituaries), writing poetry and short stories.

"There's nothing like thinking about our existence and place long enough to let descriptions of those memories happen. The way words crawl and curl through vivid memories is incredibly beautiful to me." - Burke
