wedding poem XII - Josiah and Christa

strand of pink yarn
(the old story)
tied in bow
around white napkin
tightly wrapped around
knifeforkspoon

pink sash encircles waist
of young woman
walking toward stage
of historied auditorium

pink bowtie graces neck
of young man
walking towards her
bearded chin forward

and then we sing
a cappella
filling aged space
with vital voices
needing no help to lift the harmony
up and up

until it rests in heaven
which beams down grace enough
to bless this earnest union
now bound together
by the bright yarn of love
