Meaningless Miles
A Poem for Marriage



Miles cannot separate a feeling,
time knows no tricks
to stop a rose from blooming
and a heart knows the only magic
to keep that rose immortal.

Mountain's of doubt crumble,
forest's of fear will tremble
at the sight of this man,
and at the voice of his bride.

Two stand, joined in hand,
the world playing out before them
an ocean of life at their feet,
and when they begin to wade
it is as one being, two hearts.

Now no mountains block our view.
No forests shade the sight
of a heart spinning and rising,
a new sun created from your love.
