Meditation and Wedding Prayer

I never want to tell you how much I love you. I want to carry it quietly in my heart, want to be dumb like a grave. No song shall confess it to you, shall plead for my happiness! You should see it yourself, you yourself in my eyes. And if you can't read what speaks so tenderly there, it must have been a dream. Do not be angry with the dreamer.

Ye happy children slurp the pleasure. It will soon dry up. A long winter takes it away. Your mind doesn't look forward, doesn't look back. You kiss the ephemeral, carefree you enjoy the moment. We can't love. Carried about by wind and waves until we shatter. was no more given to us as life than to you in a dream. Without a wish we arise, without a wish we vanish again into foam.

Symbolic Wedding

If you only wanted to believe how much I love you, and also be able to grasp that I gave you my heart! But no, I didn't give it at first. you took it from me In the storm, then it became yours, now it lives in you. You now have two legs and I have none, don't leave me like this any longer and give me yours.

Because, symbolic your full cup cooled my hot lips, because my pale forehead rested in your hand. Because I felt the sweet breath of your soul. Who is like incense in a dark flood. Because it was given to me to hear from you the sweet sounds in which the heart opens up to the bottom.

Because your tears gently thawed on my eyelashes, because I saw my smile bloom on your mouth. A ray of wondrous splendor fell on my head from your star, which broke through its clouds, because I saw a rose petal, torn from the wreath of your days, sinking into the brook of my life. So I speak undaunted to the fleeing springs. Pull out, always pull out! This spirit does not age. Like shadows fade away with your withered wreaths!

There is a power within me that blossoms imperishably. The bowl that refreshes me is always filled to the brim. And the beating of the wings of time never shatters them. My spirit has more fire than you cover in ashes, my heart has more love than you oblivion.
