bernhard, birgit & samuel, october 3, 1999
climbing the highest mountain,
you advance together.
in a boat crossing the widest sea,
you are inseparable.
alone in the darkest cavern,
you hold hands.
like bedouins, you could make your life
in the desert;
like sherpas, among the
highest crags;
or mongols, ruling
endless plains.
your wedding gathers
your family & friends
& your marriage fuses all our hearts
to one.
where ever on earth i am,
i am part of that.
