Chinese Wedding Poems
Posted by admin on Jun 18, 2011 in Blog | 0 comments
Performing a Chinese wedding tomorrow. Check out these awesome poems I found.
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
Without words, without even understanding,
lovers find each other.
… The moment of finding is always a surprise,
like meeting an old friend never before known.
Here is another and I love this one:
Married Love
You and I
Have so much love
That it
Burns like a fire,
In which we bake a lump of clay
Molded into a figure of you
And a figure of me.
Then we take both of them,
And break them into pieces,
And mix the pieces with waterAnd mold again a figure of you,
And a figure of me.
I am in your clay.
You are in my clay.
In life we share a single quilt.
In death we will share one bed.
Kuan Tao-Sheng
(1262-1319)
I love it, we are of the same lump of clay. Totally beautiful. This will be my blessing on the couple. In life may they share a single quilt and in death may they share one bed. What a beautiful metaphor.
