Marriage
by Margene Wiese-Baier
I look in a floor length mirror that holds tomorrow.
I’m about to get married – not a young giddy bride, but years older and wiser.
Putting my past behind to start a new adventure.
My white lace veil covers my eyes, but I can see.
My shoulders are caressed with fine silk and my skin enjoys the touch of its gentleness.
I see the strength and wisdom that brought me to this place in my life.
I coo to myself as if in a trance ready for flight in readiness to soar to new heights like an eagle.
I am that eagle ready to meet my mate.
Ready to start our life together.
Ready to build a nest softened with the down of our feathers.
Branch by branch we will intertwine our foundation together.
We will talk of love to each other through our beaks.
A love song will engage our every movement.
We will enjoy our oneness and want to be together for all eternity.
We will soar together in perfect harmony.
We will see nothing but beauty surrounding us.
The mountains capped with the purity of snow.
The frosted trees after a refreshing rain holding tightly to their leaves to protect all that they hold beneath them.
The earth covered with pine needles and soft sod that withhold the footprints of all who walk there.
The lakes below of crystal blue ecstasy with tongues of water lapping at their beaches.
The buffalo that thunders across the plains thankful to be forgotten by the hunters of yesteryear.
The coyote plays with her kits and waits patiently for the return of her mate.
Brother Elk watching his Harem bathing in a nearby lake.
We land to refresh ourselves in the coolness of a mountain stream and I look in and see my reflection and see the promises of tomorrow.

Would You Just Let Me Love You ?
by Margene Wiese-Baier
Would you just let me love you
Like I want to love you
It will be okay
Just want to hear you say
That you love me too
If you let me love you
Like I want to love you
It will be okay
To say you love me too
I can hardly wait
For you to see
That I would be good for you
Don’t you understand?
I will not demand
Your love
I will always stay
Because I love you that way
So, let me love you…it will be okay
Don’t you know we were destined to be together
It was by design
I am the part that you have been missing
I am not just for kissing
So, let me love you…the way I want to love you
I have waited long enough for your caress
So, if you are ready…let it be steady
So, just let me love you
The way I want love you and
It will be okay to say you love me too
You’re Going To Wait Too Long
by Margene Wiese-Baier
You’re going to wait too Long
And I’ll be gone
You thought I could wait forever
Well you were sure Wrong
The Man for Me has come on Strong
Now I have to tell you
You waited too Long
I am Thanking God
That He did not Answer My Prayer
Because you sure weren’t there
When I needed someone that cared
‘Cause I need someone that has been there all along
I needed to be pursued
Not taken for Granted
That I would wait forever.
Man you got that one wrong
Now go on your way
I hope you don’t wait this long
Before you tell another that you love her
So, I will say Good Bye
‘Cause I have a Wedding to attend to
I’m in Love.. and about to say I Do!
I Do ... I Do ... I Do…
and it Ain’t to you…
