the wedding party

the wedding
is much like many weddings.

the bride in white, the groom in
his dark suit,
the cake, the band.
the relatives tired from
their long flights.

but there is joy.
smiles and laughter.
children, like bees set about.

dancing, drinking, eating.
the swirl of new hope
that love has been found.

the music plays on deep into
the night.

we dance in one another's arms.
around and around.

it's a good party, a good wedding.
there is a prayer
that blessings will be upon
them. that they will love one
another
be faithful, and always kiss
at the end of a day,
goodnight.
