Marriage

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
you shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days...
Aye you shall be together even in the silent memory of God...
but let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls...
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup...
Give one another bread but do not eat of one loaf...
Sing and dance together, but let each one of you be alone...
Give your heart's but not each other's keeping...
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts...
And stand together yet not too near together...
For the pillars of the temple stand apart...
