Marriage ~

Marriage is an instrument 
designed to be played upon 
by twenty fingers 
which when tuned
with delicate precision 
by human love 
and empathy
is capable of exalting souls 
and moving mountains 
however 
the music is composed by two artists
songs are sung by two mouths
and the martial concert is directed 
by two conductors 
thus the longed-for achievement 
of perfect harmony 
demands 
a delicate and calculated 
double self-sacrifice 
that from this oblation of two 
there may arise 
perfected
oneness ~
