George – So here we are again, old friend,
After so many moons and trips
Into the inner world;
And loss of illusions (and some hair);
And changes of socks and beliefs;
And laughter
At what the cosmic trickster
Threw our way.
Here we are
At another magic crossroads –
And your path lies clear before you.
And so the wheel turns.
And your life’s light is returned
By your shining bride.
And my heart sings for you
In your happiness,
And my restless feet will dance like
Wild horses at your wedding.
And my love is always here for you.
And Judith -You have filled my friend’s life with
Sweet caring, companionship and completion;
A sharing of light, night and the unknown;
And a giving of life’s promise.
And so I come to know you more
And hold you closer to my heart
As family and as friend.
Today,
As the august sky plays
A blue duet with the mirrored lake,
I see you reflecting each other
And us all
In your love.
To you both -Today, the gods are dancing for you
And all our hearts are mounting the sky for you
Like ascending flamingos,
Like summer kites,
Like temple drums.
And you are blessed and filled
By your union of blissful choice.
You are woven together
As the sun weaves light
Through trees
And the stars weave the night
With dreams.
You are woven together
On the loom of love, hope, friendship
And courageous beginnings.
And we weave our hearts
With yours
Forever.
And on this most magical of days, and forever,
Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion,
honour and humility and mirth and reverence, within you.
