It Is Extraordinary



It Is Extraordinary

It is extraordinary
how blithe breathings of the heart
lovingly flower into an immeasurable
inclination of endearing tenderness
when goodness entwines with humanity
when two souls thread their dreams together
in a ceremony of unalloyed contentment
a gentle occasion for one million kisses
one for the bright bloom of forever’s embrace
one for enigmatic stars to shine on upon your faces
confidently with natural and miraculous love
that would never dare discriminate or diminish
that would never cease to remind you of what you are
the freshness and beauty, the grace and the serenity
born for hand in hand marriage, born for universal travel
moment by moment, obstacle by obstacle, miracle by miracle
together generous, a theatre of eloquent desires, forward motion.
it is extraordinary to be the most loving human being to another
to be their benevolence, their plentitude, it is an exceptional endowment
it is your truth, your past, your present, and your future
timeless, articulate, inspiring, accepting, respectful, ever bountiful.

My dear friends Gen and Rebecca get married today.  I wrote this in their card along with a bottle of champagne as my gift.  So pleased for them.

Love is good.

In propinquity, 
Nic

  1. Poetry is the greatest gift and yours is worth more than diamonds. This one is a pearl, though: glowing and iridescent, radiant and eternal.

    You're so good with words.

    1. Thank you, Ru. Their union warranted a poem. It was a lovely day.
