fragrant cool ocean of rosewater
it is the morning of my vows
i have risen brightly and glad
smiled upon the break of day
maiden voyage before me
happy little dress awaits
a wreath of meadow flowers
will twist through my careless hair
sunshine and open air
no shoes upon my feet
i shall dance through laughing grass
subtly perfumed from my early bath
thus shall i pledge my troth
and covenant discovery
self, husband, life
softly step into rose petals swirling
submerged in baptismal ceremony
steeped in nuptial roses
nascent moment of sacrfice
holy altar hidden door
i prepare my body as an offering
for the beautiful one i love
