Lingering in unobtrusive shadow,
		a compass to the travel-weary soul,
		Through no spotlight does love its purpose show
		But flourishes in a predestined role.
		
		Two dream weavers mapping separate lives
		climb professional rungs and celebrate
		accomplishment to which few dare to strive,
		knowing nothing of their intertwined fates.
		
		Like embers of a slow-starting fire,
		emotion denounced reality’s frown;
		Friendship ignited to heart’s desire.
		Now they prepare for their union’s crown.
		
		Miles of separation they did endure
		Yet the magic of Love their bond secured.
