With this ring
I thee wed.
For years to come
In sacred design
This ring cast into our hearts,
Holding like a puzzle
With no solution
That would break the bond
Of mystery that is Us.
A jewel, though welded tight,
Could dislodge, yet
It is recast from our
Diamond body,
The rock face of our soul,
Which is Us.
The paradox is the triad,
You, Me, and Us.
We are three-fold.
A triangle with a solid base,
Our new house,
Which is Us.
We can see from all angles
The intangible Us.
Without Us,
We are No-thing,
Just You, Me, and
An empty bond.
It is with this ring,
I thee wed for
Unity in all celebrations –
Birth and becoming,
And even hope in travail –
Deceit and death.
All is in this ring
That could heal love
Or spite love, yet
We have Us to complete
The welding of this jewel
Born out of You and Me.
And so, we together
In the Name Most High,
With this ring,
Wed as three, the One:
You, Me, and Us.
