This piece was written as a compliment to
handfast, heartfast. Yesterday, September 19, was the year-and-a-day date of the day
mcc and I were
handfasted. This was written as part of my
gift to him in celebration. The date of this handfasting, regardless of when we finally 'legally' marry, is what we ourselves consider our 'anniversary'.
The
wheel has turned,
cycle complete
As now I
nestle down to sleep
Beside you,
near you,
safe and warm
And I have finally found my
home.
A
day and
year ago, my
love,
You
swore i"name of
powers above,
Below, and present in this world
That it was
I that you adored.
That you wished in life to
travel,
Bound by
cords that will not ravel,
By my side each moment true…
And I have sworn the same to you.
Together bound,
purple and
gold,
Forever—now, and when we"re old.
Share in
laughters, share in
tears,
Share
life and love throughout our years.
We
promised it with
leafing flame
A year ago, and now the same
I choose to promise you again
Our lives are
bound until the end.
Together till we leave this
frame
And pass in peace to
greenworld plane
Yet even then, when
choose we
creep,
Together, whole, our souls shall sleep.
