I'm thinkin' of reading this at a friend's wedding reception. I wanted to test the reaction here, first.

-cake flowers-
In the fragile light
of this fragile life,
we need to share our strength.

Candle flames waver
and jump at the edge
of wicks, wanting the sky.

Light is a fluid
that loves large spaces
to fill and make its own.

You two are both
part of that light.
You belong to its echoes and peace.

You two are both
pastry flowers
on the same spot on the cake.

Metal won't part you
with the tines of a fork,
but bind you in love with a ring.

In the fragile light
of this fragile life,
you have added love's glow and its grace.

May you always have that shine;
And within each other,
may you always have your dreams and your need.

of wicks, wanting the sky..."

Mike~ I really enjoy reading your poetry. You have such a wonderful way with words and you usually make me think about things differently.........

To get to the point, I think this is excellent and I hope you read this to them and give it as a gift as well. It is great!

Wow, thanks everyone, for such a great response to this little thing. I'm glad you all enjoyed, and for letting me indulge in my gentler, quieter moments. Peace.
