It is Here is a short but poignant poem, by British Nobel Prize winner Harold Pinter. While open to interpretation, it seems to explore the nature of a relationship between two people over time. But ultimately, in its last lines it reminds us that the 'breath' or spark you experience when you first meet the one you love, is always there when you look for it. As a ceremony reading, it's enigmatic, leaving us with sense of curiosity afterwards, which might appeal to literary fans.

It is Here by Harold Pinter

What sound was that?

I turn away, into the shaking room.

What was that sound that came in on the dark?
What is this maze of light it leaves us in?
What is this stance we take,
To turn away and then turn back?
What did we hear?

It was the breath we took when we first met.

Listen. It is here.
