On Day 23

They traipsed up
a rocky mountain path.
searching for summits
and hot spring baths.
A photographic nuptial
the perfect spot?
No lack of options
most certainly not,
but the accommodation,
the food, the whole
gold coin lot
made them tremble
chilled through
next to  glacial streams
then pause in the process
turn to practical dreams.
It’s a lifetime we seek
In the bright mountain sun
There will never be
satisfying everyone, seems.
So my love, my dearest my
heart, my  hope
why not hitch to
the courthouse
and simply elope?
