Wedding Song

After our ceremony at Sakin'el,
at the end of our Honeymoon --
we traveled to Raleigh, NC
for a handfasting. As part of the ceremony,
I sat on the ground holding her Celtic harp.

She sang this original song ...

SONG OF GWENDYDD

I will follow you into the mists of time
Where the colors brighten, where the waters flow
Past the barren entrances of Annwynn’s kind
Where naught but the blessed ones may go
And I will guide you to a place beside the sea
Beside the maidens’ standing stones, behind the oaken tree
Farther than all the oracles that haunt dreamers in their sleep
I will shield you forever and a day from a lonely destiny

Ancient promises, our vows made long ago
Before time entered the looking glass of Light
Beneath the waters, above the stars below
Beyond the golden circle of the Light
And I will hasten you to an island fair
Across the Lady’s homeland, beside the Dragon’s Lair
To the cave of crystals, surrounded by the weir
We will once again ascend the Mage’s golden stairs

I will fashion a tower of crystal glass
With portals of nine times eight strong
There we will watch others as they pass
As we hear the echoes of our betrothal song
