pink promises

for tiphanie & robert,
pinky & friend

a wedding is a
sacred prayer
for all humanity

couples are angels
of earth and seeds of
hope for all of living
time

love is our only
wisdom & the god-like
light that glows in our
hearts

wedding vows are timelessly
spoken in new york
& in hong kong––
the city wedding, the
village wedding, the
wedding in the center of
your heart––

the weaving together
of souls–
the mending of pain &
separation

a pair of footprints
in the shifting sand––
parallel tracks
in sleeping moondust––

now you are one
bringing all of us
& this world
one step closer
together

& you giggle &
we laugh––
happier than we
have ever been
within
