Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is weddings.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A wedding poem about the marriage that follows the wedding:
A wedding is the entrance to a
marriage:
One drives through,
and suddenly one's there!
Stepping from a fairy
tale carriage
Into quite ordinary
air.
Life is now a dance,
though beautiful,
Requiring intense
coordination;
Each self becomes,
in ways inscrutable,
More fully what it
is in combination.
And we who love you
wait, of course, outside
As you become through
love that mystery:
One flesh made whole
of separate groom and bride;
Two selves, one
life; two notes, one harmony.
When you are one, we
then may cherish two:
Loving not just one,
but both of you.
