On Your Wedding Day, as
You Trade Vows
On
your wedding day, as you trade vows,
No ordinary moment
hurries by.
You partake, as far
as time allows,
Of something more
than time and Earth and sky:
Unknowable,
invisible, yet there;
Resplendent to the
heart if not the face;
More than both of
you, yet less than air;
A transcendental act
conferring grace.
Reason might say, How
can this be true?
Return then to the
heart, for this is love.
In making vows, you
make one out of two,
A mystery beyond what
words can prove.
Go then as one flesh,
one home, one heart:
Each still a whole,
yet also now a part. |
