adoramus te (Wedding Poem X) Philip and Felicitas

thick ancient walls
recessed windows
faded frescos
echo voices
clear      angelic
overlapping and dancing
in rarified holy air
of radiant lovers’ vows
made facing imposing wooden cross
simple vase of roses
and two thick candles
burning with the e/motion of the moment

congregation sings praise to the Lord
smiles and tears overlap and dance
in morning air
with wire hearts of children
hanging in delight

and these thick walls remember these notes
of covenant and joy
as they tumble
echo
and live
in love and praise
