On Marriage By Khalil Gibran - Meryl Streep

You were born together

And together you shall be forevermore

You shall be together

When the white wings of death scatter your days

Ay you shall be together even

In the silent memory of God

But let there be spaces

In your togetherness

And let the winds of

The heavens dance between you

Love one another but make

Not a bond of love

Let it rather be a moving

Sea between the shores of your souls

Fill each other's cup

But drink not from one cup

Give one another of your bread

But eat not from the same loaf

And dance together

And be joyous but let each

One of your be alone

Even as the strings of the lute

Are alone though they quiver

With the same music

Give your hearts but not

Into each other's keeping

For only the hand of

Life can contain your hearts

And stand together yet not too near together

For the pillars of the temple stand apart

And the oak tree and the cypress

Grow not in each other's shadow
