2 Wedding Poems

                        I

Our deepest dreams, our real dreams

They move as we move, moving us

Receiving us...soothing us

As lovers each other soothe when they embrace

Turning back and melting in the gleam

Sparkling from their lips that leave

Them lost between dream and Dream

Lips that meet in long covenant

The lover for the Beloved

The Dreamer to the Dream coveted

Merging as the finite and the infinite

Silent in dreams more silent

Than the liquid, melding limits

Of stream and sea...clear and vibrant

As one these dreams, as one this Love

Moving as we move...moving us

Loving as we love...loving us

Holding forever onto dreams of love.

                      II

Be in me as the morning winds

That clear the indigo sky

And gently raise

The lavender and roseate shades

That blush on the lake cliffs

Until they shine,

Bluish-silver

On the still mirror waters

Have in me the joy and gladness

Of the sparkling lake

That burns silvery-violet

And when these colors fade

And the winds come slow

With night,

Moving in shifting circles

Be in me as the spirit of these winds

And the will of these darkening cliffs

And the mood of these contented waters

That sink beneath the quiet surface

Have in me the solace

Of the meditating moon and stars

And the remembrance always

Of the sun-flecked cliffs

And the sparkling waters

That surround us.
