Wedding Arbor 2 - Finished

I am so happy,
and a little emotional, as
this time comes to a close.
I feel  almost as if I have just given birth.
So much time and energy spent not only in the building
but also in the collecting of the pieces
 that have gone into this beautiful Arbor.
Oh how I love nature's many gifts.
As I take my final walk around this sculpture.
 I am reminded of my many walks along the sandy shores.
 Each walk would give me an opportunity to stop and
 pick up one of nature's discarded
jewels.
It has been such a joy to touch each piece
and place it in just the right spot.
I wanted this arbor to give one
 the feeling of walking into nature.
Branches weave in and out of each other
just as if they were still alive. 
A horseshoe crab lights upon the top of a stump.
This little crab hides among the branches.
Several sea shells get caught 
up in branches as if they were
 put there by the
wind and tide.
Now nature's gifts to me have been
 tied together with love and time.
 So I give this gift to future Brides and Grooms.
May your lives be ever entwined
and long lived in happiness together.
