Wedding poem - “Counting Stars” . A clear evening In late November He looks upwards, and counts the stars They are vast And they are brilliant And they sing A song he can’t yet understand . The nightingale cries out Dreams of the future Dance along its hopeful tune . One by one The stars wave goodbye As the sun breaks the horizon Somewhere to the east Its light gives him hope That he may one day Sing with the stars . Flowers come to life The resurrection of the day Sweet smelling harbingers of love . The flowers call And he picks a bouquet Of roses and buttercups And for a short time He sees them as stars Fallen to the earth God given gifts of love . The sea is endless And yet it loves the shore And it graces it with salty kisses . Somewhere along the shore Waves crash in beating rhythm And she looks down, and counts grains of sand They are minuscule And they are precious And they gently sing A song she can’t yet understand . Clouds pass overhead Silent travelers that ceaselessly smile At the world below, filled with love . The sun dances at noon Something of a heavenly waltz With the smiling clouds As the wind plays the violin On the strings of her heart And she dances in time Lovely, and radiant as the sunset . Evening falls soft as a butterfly’s wing A ribbon that circles the earth And grains of sand shine like stars . They meet in autumn Hearts leaping in synchrony Her, feet full of sand Tiny gemstones reflecting her hope Him, a handful of flowers Something beautiful to grasp for a moment Flowers and sand, and stars high above . The night sky is infinite They spend their days counting stars Each one a piece of their love . As they lay in the grass They sing a song Of earth and sea and sky Something of flowers and waves and clouds They sing to the stars A song of love That only they and the heavens can understand
