the rix mix

It is difficult
for two people to find each other,
to become friends, &
becoming friends,
to discover love
in that friendship.
Yet, it has happened
to your delight & ours.

Your love is fueled by dreams,
&  what you have experienced
together & alone
brings a shared wisdom
with enough space for hope.

In this lovely autumn,
as the trees take themselves
into the bright colors of sleep,
& birds mysteriously disappear,
you have chosen to awaken a springtime,
& with it, new growth, a new year,
a season for nurturning dreams & hopes.

It is a good moment to get married,
     & we bless you,
your  love for each other
     blesses us, too.
