Wedlock

Chantilly clouds

veiled Eve’s celestial body

as pearled raindrops

stitched the ground

beneath the sprigs

of lavender,

dressing bare feet

with soles of peace,

awaiting

Summer to spill

its champagne

effervescence

into Sky’s

cobalt chalice

to mark the joining

of

Day and Night.

Rainbow’s tied the knot

of their faithful promise

just as Eve’ kissed them

in their wedded bliss.

Embraced in the Golden Hour,

Dusk lit soft candlelight

for Starlight’s first dance

as Day poured out its remnants,

casting long shadows in onyx ink,

before laying down its crown

atop Mount Union.

Two souls, bound as one,

honeymooned at the foot

of the eternal edifice:

a dwelling of

sacrifice

&

servitude,

foreshortened

in their view

from the meadow of mirth’s terrain

at the edge of

The Gorge

of

Holy Matrimony.
