The Lovers Prayer

Remember when
Long time before
You tried to catch your heels
Flying solo bound

Remember who
crept in the darkness of your room
and played upon your heart
such beautiful sounds

Remember the childhood wonder
and forgotten dreams 
of sleeping rainbows

Whilst mother earth 
blows stolen virgin kisses

leave dancing shadows 
to find their way

Onto the crisp breath's 
upon the lips 
of such youthful lovers

and time stands still for a moment
And loves air is fresh to inhale

Remember,
you are the enormous tide
that extends your mark 
upon this world

The grace of spirited waves, 
tossed and turned by timid sprays

Enlightened by the suns rays
In spirit and fortitude: 
Solitude awaits you no more

Welcome the deluge and purity
This elixir of life, Behold!

For if loves cool waters
are united, rippled
every wave would 
be paved in gold

Exhale the release
Inhale the vision among us

Grow and evolve 
just as the rivers flow
Embrace love together 
and reflect nature's gazes

For you are
each others sleeping rainbow

Do not forget your united destiny

You were meant to fly 
as in your dreams

Only higher
And together
Forever

Amen

[SPINNING ON that dizzy ..]

This is lovely. What a true gift to find someone that can be the one that brings out the best in you. My favorite line is For you are each others sleeping rainbows - what a nice way to say see all the potential. We can, we will. Nice tribute to love

A great tribute here...the way this has that feel...and its always a bit different doing so in front of a crowd...yet this version is all --- we get...but I'm sure you did find at the wedding with this speech to the audience...

[Kelly Scheppers]

What a lovely reading for a wedding...it truly reads like a prayer.

"Welcome the deluge and purity
This elixir of life, Behold!"

Your poetic nature is bountiful here, Steve.
