"The marriage Bed"
Sacred Intentions Book

Their marriage Bed is made of deep forest moss
of lichen and Seeds
Swept in By forgotten oceans
Clouds of Dark green pine needles Saturate The ground
Their wedding is a symphony of rain on Cedars
The flash of Blue above them,
Stellar jay wings – of the
clicking Ravens throat
a Black canopy of cedars
Their wedding Bed is sunrise gold and crocus-early for spring
earth so rich it Spills mushrooms and tiny ladybugs across The path of leaves and sorrow
Fastening patience through timeless Seasons trillium, mouth, Breastbone, forehead Delicious rain
in her, his eyes
Their wedding Bed is The Soft earth
The Curve of the oak and maple with bent arms to shelter them.
Dark and night and Cloaked Stars,
Circles drawn on the skin of the earth with ash leaves and half smiles
Treasure, Closed heart opens
Cloud moss – lays his hands on the ruby throat of the silk Flute
The honest healer waits
Answers of Dark earth,
the skeleton chatters and clatters opening the gates
of the future
And Shiny Beetles run out of her silk cloak, they know she comes slowly and all there is
is,
this home the way of these
two hands
Smooth rain, Through her hair
she watches, his eyes are the place of Rivers
her Body is the place of unseen oceans – and they swim
Deep in the pockets of green mystic cathedrals – only found in nature
They Thrive
Their wedding Bed is a thin Reed,
Thin – wedding Bed is a wild and salty Dance in the Branches of willow and pine Ancient Ceremony
whispered in The throats of hawks and Ravens –
Owls hold the veil. This ceremony is a lifetime of wild
And relentless Forgiving.
The gentle earth receives their eternity
Deep in the place of victory where the vines take Back
This history
Natural Springs tell Cool, life Saving Secrets,
Deep council rises in the places where
Soft and white and trillium fragile – they clasp the hands of cedars They wear the crown of valor and mystery
Their marriage vows are the earth and Sky, a cloud of silky moss
She rests her head on his wild Breast and he plays her the flute forever.
