MORE THAN ONE PLUS ONE
by Riverdave Owen
The Wedding of Margaret and Linus
Durham, NC May 26, 2012
The merging of two cosmic souls
Is more than one plus one
From deep within the universe
Pure energies have come,
And arced across great distances
Of interstellar space
To bring together families
As bride and groom embrace.
To share in procreation is
Much more than one plus one
With incarnations from the past
Still shimmering with sun,
We bow to gain their blessings as
They beckon from on high
The Spirits of our Ancestors
Are dancing in the sky!
To gaze into a lover’s eyes
Is more than one plus one
Behind her stands a father’s care
And he’s a mother’s son
As generations passing on
Their life experience
Traditions root and legends grow
With rich significance.
To live each day in partnership
Is more than one plus one
With elders siblings cousins and
Their children on the run,
With members spread both near and far
We form the Owen clan
And welcome all the in-laws who
Have joined our caravan.
To live in Nature’s harmony
Is more than one plus one
Through Her divine economy
The couple’s work is done,
Where trees abound and all life forms
Are present free to roam
This is the full community
Our love our life our home ...
