Wrote this Friday night late, thinking about my good friend Nolan who got married Saturday in Alabama.
Wedding Eve
Tomorrow there are promises
Sacred vows to keep
Hints and hopes and dreams
Trajectories when we speak
Yesterday there were rumors
Of his and hers and theirs
Confirmed by a question
Answered, intimating care
Today stands silently
Holding in its breath
Bridging days, readying souls
For oaths of life and death
Years before and years to come
Collapse time and space
Into a pregnant moment
While standing face to face
Voices intone, lips meet
Sealing with a kiss
Rugged hope and fragile faith–
Love’s pure blessedness
