As I can't attend your wedding reception

As I can't attend your wedding reception,
a thought brings itself to my attention.
'As you wind yourself in anticipation
of the pleasure of this loving relation,
I get overwhelmed with emotion;
not sure how to wish you the best of life's collection.'

Life is a treasure, seldom understood.
Nothing matters - is all I know.
In diving into relations, are we building
our sources of enjoyment,
or sources of need,
is all that I want to know.

May the full-stops of life match the full-stops.
May the commas match the commas.
Pray they never juxtapose.

Lest they be caught in the rigmarole of expectations,
if spiritual growth is not the raison d'être for relations.
