For Christmas this year I'm having my wife's and my wedding rings resized (they never fit) and engraved (we were always too lazy).
I'd like to put something a bit more interesting and meaningful than the usual "here is when we got married" on it.
I think a one-line haiku would fit the bill. Anybody have any good ideas? Essential epithets/kigo that refer to stability and permanence? Or equilibrium-like dynamism?
"Matched pair" would make a neat start.
matched pair-- even when the rain threatens
?
I'm lousy at this sorta stuff...
40 character limit, including spaces, if anybody else is game to have a go. :)
A great idea, Stewart. :)
Just to start the brain storming here's my two coppers' worth :
paired hearts wing beat of a dove in sun and rain
This has 39 characters and includes your opening line with a slight difference.
In the myths about birds, the dove seems to be associated with unconditional love, purity and grace.

Good luck with this wonderful search. :)

Nifty. Can't go wrong with doves... :)
Much appreciated, SL! (I think with spaces counted, that might go over the character limit, but I like the ideas you've given me)
paired hearts even in the rain the doves
^ is 39 characters (counting spaces). Too short!
Playing more on doves:
paired even in darkness the doves' wings (39 char)
even in darkness the doves' white wings (39char)
sun rain -- soul mates now and forever (38)

Nice one, Don! And a whole two characters to spare even with the em-dash. :o
Thanks, Stewart! Glad you like it. Blessings.

I showed my wife the options and we're going with:

An excellent choice, Stewart. :)
Maybe it's already too late for this suggestion. You could par it down without
the paired even in darkness doves' wingsJust a thought ...
