...We Meld As Roots Twine

we meld as roots twine 
bark nor storm infringe on love 
death, cold, raw, a pauper’s dream...         

braid graceful passion
bend before heart’s storm...           
engulf beginnings

honeyed breath kiss on
life dancing on, babies born 
tagged in blissful wondering...

forever mine dear
a bed to begin and to end...
embrace of me

*A wedding verse in Sedoka Form
