Wedding song

Wedding song

So you are the hunter

and I am the gatherer

and you are the gardener

and I am the traveller

and I am the dancer

and you are the dance.

And I am the dreamer

and you are the harbour

and you are the future

and I am the farmer

and you are the juggler

and I am the clown.

I see you—I know you—

I love you—I see—

that you are the builder

and I am the weaver

and you are the mover

and I am the mender

and you are the mountain,

and I am the cloud.

And you are the lover

and I am the lover

and we are a twosome

and you are the one.

by Rachel McAlpine, 1996

I originally wrote this wedding poem for friends.
Later I realised that it also fitted another bride and groom: my daughter and her husband.
Eventually the truth dawned: the concepts in this wedding song may make good sense to almost any two people in love and about to marry.
