CONGRATULATIONS ELYSSA AND BRIAN!
Congratulations to my lovely niece and her outstanding husband on their marriage, today! Please enjoy this poem in tribute to their love!
Simpatico
She: Euro-american
worldly/shy, brilliant crepe suzette
He: Midwestern quiet,
self-assured, intelligent American apple
pie
They meet and over time
observe each other--trying one another on for size
Questions flickering in
their eyes
Something sparked, tiny
yet surprisingly piquant
Then,
necessity/graduation separates them
And shifts them into
different worlds
Over phone lines, via
satellite the spark glows becoming brighter
Hours and days
transpire love kindles becoming viral, blazing, scintillating
Home at last reunited
on American soil
Fingers brush, lips
touch, souls meld
Love is now concrete,
tangible
Communication one on
one without the
Invisibility of bits
and bytes
They are simpatico
Today promises will be
pledged
Lives will be woven
together
As a chorus of joy
resounds emanating
From their souls and
filling the chapel
Bonding family and
friends
As vows are spoken/sung
And all are lifted up
with this outpouring
From Elyssa Joy and
Brian Jeffrey
And through the grace
of GOD
They are wed;
Please welcome Mr and
Mrs. Brian Hamm
