wedding flowers - by John and Richard and Brendan
If Love like wheat might ripen in the fields
We’d husband well the crop the sunlight yields.
We’d plough Love’s field with furrows straight and true;
Sow seeds of Love with care, as lovers do.
Love’s harvest ripe we’d reap with scythes of gold;
And sheaves of Love with golden thread enfold.
We’d cure Love sweet, with beat of gentle breeze
One of the three wheels flowers by John and Richard and Brendan
From wings of sugared sylphs and honeyed bees.
Second Wheel - flowers by John and Richard and Brendan
We’d shake the husk of hate from Love’s gold grain
With threshers’ happy skill, we’d thrash Love’s shame.
Winnow jealous Love free of anger’s chaff;
From refined Love shape life’s sustaining staff.
Glean selfish Love ‘til clear of envy’s curse
Then cast Love’s seed-corn ‘cross the universe.
Your truly....
