Writing: The Ceremony of One -- The Two Doves


Still in Chapter two of my third book, I have begun to detail a wedding ceremony set in the year 1000 between our 18 year old hero, Young Heron, and his 18 year old beauty from another tribe, Lone Bird. At the end of the ceremony, they sit on two tree stumps covered with skins, while the officiant, The Storyteller, recites a poem, as follows:

Two doves meeting in the sky
Two loves hand in hand, eye to eye
Two parts of a loving whole
Two hearts and a single soul

Two stars shining big and bright
Two fires bringing warmth and light
Two songs played in perfect tune
Two flowers growing into bloom

Two Doves gliding in the air
Two loves free without a care
Two parts of a loving whole
Two hearts and a single soul
