Sparkling Cascades

~

rings and kisses
circles and ripples
murmurs
pools of ancient secrets
longing for truth
dreams and visions
wishes enchanted
rustle through
whispering willows

~

from before time
i was yours
you were mine
one and one
and one for one
in the unceasing present
to bounds of eternity

~

hear wild thunder roar
it is time
my love it is time!

~

the sun of noon
stars and moon
darling dearest
in day and dark
arms entwined
in shade and light
in love's strong embrace
keep me hold me tight

~

chuck-a-ling silver-splattered brooks
join the river of time
a jubilating silver stream
never ending free flowing dream
from far calls laughing thunder
the feast is ready the table is set!
celebrate the new life
rejoice! rejoice rejoice!

~

i am the groom
you are the bride
together we stand
hand in hand
side by side
wed us oh lord
make us one
now and forever
ever for ever

~

darling adored
breathe soft your reply
sing of bliss
joy and happiness!

~

to honour and respect
patient and enduring
in abundance and in poverty
to care for and to comfort
in happiness and sorrow
in illness with longsuffering
to protect and defend
in danger and fear
darkness and despair
a love unfailing and eternal
a flame of hope undying
for life and ever after

~

joyful beloved
dearest devoted
darling divine
before god we stand
side by side
hand in hand
vow binds vow
ring binds ring
kiss for kiss
life gives life

~

take my fiery ring
burning bright gold
to be faithful and truthful
in holy devotion
desire and passion
to your heart
take as your own
blood is blood
sealed in circles
by rings
of flame everlasting

~

rolling down ageless canyons
comes a mighty rumble
love's tears
falling diamonds
come white foam
silver streaked
thundering down
myriads of misty rainbows
dance on through
the glittering water curtain

~

my hope is you
your love is mine
gentle and shy
strong and bold
as one we stand
as one we are
always and ever
lord bind us together
take me hold me
hold me keep me
near and nearer
close and closer

~

our love will not drown
in streams of days
nor vanish in mists of ages
never overcome by deep voids
or lost in measureless vast
we shall ever triumph
love will always prevail

~

from before time
i was yours
you were mine
one for one
one and one
circle unbroken
cycle eternal
sound resound
surround around
circle encircling
since ever ever so
over over and over
ever ever and ever
