Picture by Alan Ayers

* * *

On the edge of the Pacific Ocean
Beside a sea of sapphire blue
The sun is close to setting
As the bride comes into view

Frangipanis in her hair
And rose oil on her skin
The next chapter in her life
Is about to begin

She walks towards her man
Barefoot along the sand
A smile spreads across his face
As he takes hold of her hand

Their bodies move in closer
As their fingers interlace
He is captivated by her beauty
Her sheer elegance and grace

A celebrant will witness
The union of their love
As their vows are softly spoken
The seagulls circle high above

Wedding rings are exchanged
And a kiss seals their love
As they release into the sky
A single white dove

Two souls have joined together
And two hearts beat as one
A marriage made in heaven
Beneath the warm Summer sun

* * *

"Wine comes in at the mouth
and love comes in at the eye
That's all we know for truth
before we grow old and die
I lift the glass to my mouth
I look at you, and I sigh"


I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
- Shawn Mullins

That's beautiful, Sue, both the words and the picture. Marriage and love are so special and you did them justice here.

Sue,
Way cool! My son and daughter-in-law got married on the beach in Jamaica! This is perfect. Well done as only a true romantic, lik you, can do.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
