Before-word: I wrote and recited this piece for two of my dearest friends on the occasion of their wedding.

Where once it was “me and I” inhaled—now “us and we” exhaling
Birthed through pangs of willing submission, full surrender
On this two-becoming-one journey
Starting in the acknowledgement that you are his and he is yours
Two lives entwined together as one
Two as one in love

LOVE …

Its timing unpredictable
Its expression unmistakably mirrored in coded smiles, secret glances, gentle touches
Its evolution purposed by God
In the way it’s transformed you, conformed you, molded you, connected you
Two lives entwined together as one
Two as one in love
