My Poem for the Wedding Ceremony of Maricarmen Sierra & Carson Linforth Bowley representing the element of fire in the consecration of their sacred union.
*Fire*
The energy of transformation
Two beautiful souls fusing together committed to inner and outer creation
There is an order to this autopoetic manifestation
What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality
Said Plutarch the ancient biographer of Greek nationality
Capturing what the wise and powerful had as their mentality
Let’s sit with the enduring universality of this spiritual practicality
Where inward achievement can only be obtained with inner fire
And a willingness to go into the darkness and burn what only served you prior
A journey that will only be endured thru a thirst for transcendent desire
Know a little flame will carry you above mediocrity and not much higher
So as kosmic sisters and brothers from different biological mothers
I share with you a supreme gift you can bestow on one another
To take responsibility for your partner’s flame burning as bright as can be
For when their energy is combusting, flowing and free
They will do what they need to do, see what they need to see, become who they need to be
So watch each other’s flames as you venture out in the world
Sometimes alone and sometimes together
Let each other know what makes their fire worse, and what makes it better
And you will both radiate a heat that can’t help but shine brighter
Transforming yourselves and the world into beings more luminous and lighter
I elementally request you revolve your union around devotion to fanning the flames of each other’s fire
