for serenity -- may the circle always be yours

dawn

beginnings

it is here that they have come
the Lord and the Lady
the Sun and the Moon
they are here now, around us
their rays reach out and touch one another
they whisper their words and secrets of love on the wind
here, now, they become one
two halves of the same whole
One Light


dawn

beginnings

it is here that we have come
you and I
our hearts and souls
we are here now, with them
our hands reach out and touch one another
we speak the words and promises of love for all to hear
here, now, we become one
two parts of the same being
One Love

dawn

beginnings

I take your hand in mine
my own, I give to you
the circle now complete

my hand I give to you
your own, I take in mine
the circle now complete

the circle now complete
we shall walk its path
round and round as Moon and Sun
dance and play and share their Light
we shall walk, hand in hand
joined as one along this Life

go now, new ones, and walk the path
hand in hand and on and on
and, never forget, should darkness come
that love is forever born at dawn

Amen Sven, and so very beautiful.  Karen will love this.

Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal.

This is a beautiful poem for Serenity. Very well written.

~sky

You look inside my wild mind
never knowing what you'll find
still I want you all the time
yeah I do
'cause you get me

I don't know that the Serene one will ever be back...between the shower and the showers...LOL...

but aside from that, Sven, you did a mighty fine job with this one...

Vows?
This is exquisite. I'd like to hear it out loud.


I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement.
