The wisdom of our joining is so profound

It cannot be fathomed through words

Thoughts or visions

We are simply the Master's way of saying:

"Know each other

and be loved by me."

And oh how merciful are the in-betweens

Reminding us of who the other is

So that when the time comes to truly know

We'll both be ready for the impact

We are like red and white paint

On the verge of mix

We know

In our heart of hearts

That God wants us to be pink

What we don't know

Is when

So delightfully fearful am I

With awe and wonder

It is as if the world was about to come

To an end

And we were chosen

To be the last two survivors

What sort of love is God revealing through us?

I wonder

What brand of glory will we mirror

In His eyes

Now that we know

Beyond doubt

That we have been earmarked

To be what no two people

Have ever been

Together
