As constant as the seasons May this marriage be Blooming in the spring Tending in the summer Reaping in the fall Enjoying the bounty in winter As adaptive as the river May this marriage be Always moving and changing While still being held By familiar shores Guiding you along As strong as the mountain May this marriage be Rising high in majesty For others to see A continually beacon Of solidarity As grounded as the tree May this marriage be With deep roots in place Never bending or breaking Supporting the growth Ever towards the heavens As boundless as the sky May this marriage be Knowing no end Even when darkness comes Finding guidance in stars To lead love onward
The experimental poem this week is my attempt at an Epithamalion, which is a poem blessing a wedding. You can read more about this poetry form by clicking here.
