The Wedding Ring

I hold you under sunlit curtains, shading stars with blue.
You kiss me, all the stars our witness, underneath the moon.
But if the sun and if the moon were wedded from the two,
our love would never falter from the midnight to the noon.
For we are parted now in life as are the moon and sun,
but sunrise, sunset, wax and wane cannot keep us alone.
Shall we forsake the dawn and dusk to live life two in one,
to claim the earth our marriage bed, the heavens as our home?
My gold, your silver, stars as diamonds forge the nuptial band
so we may lead around the world the sacred wedding dance.
God sanctifies within Man's eyes, once we are hand in hand,
the matrimony meant this day, confessing our romance.
The heavens yield, the earth shall shield, and may our Savior sing
the beauty, purity, and love sealed in the wedding ring.
