Poetry anyone?

Reading friend Jessica's blog today I was turned on to the fact that it is National Poetry Month!(Thanks Jess!) I don't normally know things like this because I don't normally know what month it is but I DO love poetry and am excited to have the excuse to share simple and true poems that have meant something to me over the course of my life.
So here first is a poem I have loved for years and just thinking about the other day (some part of me must have known),

MOST LIKE AN ARCH THIS MARRIAGE
John Ciardi

Most like an arch – an entrance which upholds

And shores the stone-crush up the air like lace.

Mass made idea, and idea held in place.

A lock in time. Inside half-heaven unfolds.

Most like an arch – two weaknesses that lean

Into a strength. Two fallings become firm.

Two joined abeyances become a term

Naming the fact that teaches the fact to mean.

Not quite that? Not much less. World as it is,

What’s strong and separate falters. All I do

At piling stone on stone apart from you

Is roofless around nothing. Till we kiss

I am no more than upright and unset.

It is by falling in and in we make

The all-bearing point for one another’s sake,

In faultless failing, raised by our own weight.
