This poem is one of my favorites; never get tired of thinking about it, or reading it again. Today, I send it to family members regarding how a treasure-trove of photos from years ago should next be managed. Time for me to pass them on. Thank You

Frost penned this poem for his daughter's wedding, describing how love empowers entwined partners to resist time and change and age, to remain effervescent and raise both to a plain higher than they could ever achieve alone. In this poem speed doubles with both its modern meaning of quickness and its ancient meaning of hope. It speaks of love's power and stillness, its unwavering ability to propel and inspire.

In your mind you can go back to wherever and whenever you like or want, and stand still -- to remember, maybe even forget, or to learn how to search for that other 'oar' or that other 'wing' to 'make the pieces fit.'
