Wedding Song
by
Frank Valentyn
With my heart I thee wed
my soul I blend with thee
and as I would lead
so would I be led
and through your eyes see bold
as you through mine would see
the beauty of becoming one
and our one-being in this world
With my whole being I thee wed
my thoughts, dreams and intentions
with sacred honesty
I rescind all pretensions
and know that in the music of our life
as in all music there will be strife
tensions that in their resolution
offer golden opportunity
to higher harmony and love's solutions
With depth of knowing I thee wed
in unending discovery of your endless depth
possessed by no earthly ocean
and I, mere mortal human, intend godliness
in my every moment's reverence of your wealth
So I wed thee with all I am become
and shall become still in our bonded future
and thirst to nurture thee
as thirst I to be nurtured
and know quite beyond promise
the betrothal of my life's melody
So with hope and longing
with patience and endurance
with aim to beauty's highest destiny
with sacred conscience and covenant
I wed thee with my inmost nature
I wed thee, love
in constant plea
to my highest self's endless striving
to be for you
as I wish you to be
each the other's sacred completion
(Dedicated to Colby and Trisha Johnson - may you know true fulfillment forever)
