Embraced

Bound to thee, bound beneath the new moon
By four directions, four elements
We enter this soul dance, sacred rune

Among fire, water, earth and air
This beginning ends our wandering
So mote it be - Lord, Lady ... declare

And I give you my heart completely
I give you all I am and shall be
Darkness, love and light, I bind to thee

Wrists and ribbons, do not separate
Each to the other, now,... we are one
Vow, promised circle, we dedicate

Kindred ritual knows no sever
Blessed, in perfect love and perfect trust
One year, one day, unto forever

And I give you my heart completely
I give you all I am and shall be
Darkness, love and light, I bind to thee

We honor what death, itself, will never take
(Embraced)
