43. Marriage

What is marriage?
    The smile of love
That allows two souls
    To soar above.

What is marriage?
    The curse of night.
A tug-of-war,
    No escape to Light.

What is marriage?
    God's fulfilment true.
In Silence and Power
    His Vision's due.
Sri Chinmoy, My Flute, Sri Chinmoy Lighthouse, New York, 1972
