Paper Wedding – 1st Wedding Anniversary – An Everlasting Poem. And the sun of all of us is God’s face!

Meditation and Wedding Prayer

Love is freely given, and no more separation. Full life surges like an endless sea. Just one night of bliss. An eternal poem. And the sun of all of us is God's face. I see with a dread grip time roiling the sublime splendor of sunken worlds. Imagine how proud towers fell, and ruins are only for bronze marks. I see the sea's coveting teeth gnawing on the royal beach like a wolf.

And how the mainland snatched itself away again, gain loss, loss gain must bear. And I see this change, this withering away. All that was there, finally a shadow. Then the thought rises from the rubble, my love will also take the time away from me. Thought that leads to death mourning. To think that you have what you lose!

Paper Wedding

You love and are silent. Oh, if I had kept silent and wasted my looks only on you! Oh, if I had never spoken a word to you, I would not have to succumb to insults! But I never want to conquer this love, and woe to the day when it ends frostily! It was sent to us from those rooms. Where blissfully angels nestle against angels.

So let me rejoice in the delusion that you love me, so that my soul does not become completely desolate, and let nothing dissipate my faith! O happiness, do not deny me too shamefully the day on which the handsome demure one shows his whole soul to his many faithful ones!
