Ventures Wild
I’ve been writing a few ceremony poems lately for couples and families. This one captured a whole story in a few lines which family and friends enjoyed.
“I’d like to share a very short reading… a compact story… almost like a long haiku about their union; it’s called:
Ventures Wild
Weekends planning, holidays packed.
Cars, bikes, kayaks, racing, riding,
Rogaining, mountain biking.
Hills, valleys, winding paths.
Sweating, swearing it can be done
Jokes and groans, just over the line,
And winning… winning the life you love,
With the one that you love most.
You’ve got this ride!
You’ve shared your wild dreams, you’ve shared the challenges and you are excited to come to this celebration and claim this ride with full intention to make it across the finishing line, hand in hand. It is in this light, that you now speak your declarations of love…”
What two or three lines would describe a story of meeting your love (a partner, friend, pet…) what might they be? Please comment in the chat!
