Love and Marriage

today is my wife's birthday and tonight, I will officiate a wedding. so, love is on my mind, and I don't need to spend much time here today! oh, and did I mention, day four of Off the Mat?

a poem, not mine but on my mind. enjoy, and share your love freely, it's the best we can do! give thanks and praise.

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)

i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
