Song of Songs a revisit

Our hearts met at dawn, held in holy halo.

Rising early for reverence.

We move as one in our praise.

Turn down the lights; this isn’t a performance, but a whispered prayer.

He met me halfway, giving in equal measure.

Praying before hands ever touched, so softly.

Squeezing my hand, to love not possess,

Rubbing his fingers across my knuckles to ground me. 

Me? I’m gentler now, before the day can weigh me,

I offer you sweetness, not disguise.

The softened step within my strength,

I come to you bearing soul this early morning.

Now? We pray. 

A husband, a wife, a man, a woman. 

Two kindred spirits, 

ordained souls from the beginning of time. 

Each lovingly crafted by the Potter's clever hand,

She aims to set fire, 

Watch the arrow of love, finally land,

This is a tale of a unified couple, finally realized.

A small prayer, for God to bless and grant our supplication.

And eyes wide in wonder, 

Truly, they both now understand Adams awe,

Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh, unified unit.

● Song of Solomon 8:6 – 'Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for

love is as strong as death.'

● Ephesians 5:31-32 – 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be

joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.'

*****

husbands love your wives as Christ loved/loves the Church.

eyes wide in wonder for the holy union of Man and Woman. Husband and Wife.
