Through withered leaves of rose and tree lined paths do drift and meet stirring rising beneath the sky Egress, to a way around the stinging thorns and snatching branches that try to bar A cord thus drawn from wrist to hand and hand to wrist and back again four points crossed with silken twine to bind thy soul for evermore two hands, now joined to tempt the fates that would dare to test the strength of strings |

Wow! Another excellent duet to add to my library... Good job, you two! “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |

Ahh, here's something that accurately portrays both of your talents in a wonderfully harmonic collaboration... I can see Ed's cache of wisdom glowing through with Suzie's ever-fresh and reverent perspective... You two create something beautiful, in poetry and also, I'm sure, in each other's lives. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Brian Faith is a fine invention |

Thanks to all that take the time to read our ramblings. We both love the idea of a handfasting. (We'll just need a willing witch to do the honors) Thanks for posting this Baby ![]() |

Of all the rituals, I think I like doing handfastings the best. A great poetic statement. Thank you for sharing it. |

(big group hug) God Bless You All, yay, we all love you so much! You have such bautiful hearts, sweet Sue and Wranx, thank you for sharing! ![]() ![]() May love and light always shine upon you both!

Some believe that the whole universe is made up of one big pile of strings... From the power and beauty from love such as this... I’m starting to think they might have something there... Thank you two, always, for holding us all together... Richy |
