The Wedding by Harold M. Schulweis

"The whole world was created for the sake of union."
To unite the divided,
To bring together the separate.
A mysterious mathematics:
Two into one
One into two.

A self-discovery.
With another to learn my interior self.
Not in solitary revelation
With the other to whom I can say thou,
With all my soul, mind and might,
I am newly revealed.

Blessed the union that turns I, me, and mine
Into we, us, and ours.
Blessed this union that issues a new grammar of love.
