The Eyes of Her Beloved

This pink-faced blushing bride
explodes with wonderment,
joyously embracing the mystery
unfolding in each moment.

The white lace and satin obscure
her hidden history:
forgotten pain, 
broken promises,
and the gentle acceptance that
healed them all.

She steps forward with 
grace and ease, gazing into 
the eyes of her beloved.

Fearlessly, they plunge into
murky, unknown waters
and swim.
