Anticipation

Coming and going,
To-ing and fro-ing,
Thoughts in a dither,
Stomach aquiver ...

Scurrying, worrying,
Phoning, conversing,
Weighing last doubts,
Last chance to bow out ...

Checking all pockets,
Fastening lockets,
Rosebuds and bouquets,
Fragrant, sublime haze ...

Guest in their places,
Smiles on the faces,
Music on swelling tide,
"Here Comes The Bride."
