Let Us
Let us not spite
Nor rail nor fight
Yet praise - the beauty of this night.
Though sure hearts flail
Abate and fail
Yet clasp upon a lover's sail...
Let us not sway nor list
Nor stray
Yet praise the wonders of this day.
Though prospects sour
Decay and dour
Adorn the promise of this hour.

Wonderful!
This is one of the most beautiful poems I've read in a long time. It's so good I feel it can be recited as a prayer.
You're great!

I love your images, debs...
"clasping a lover's sail", just lovely and it says the world about loving relationships. When all else seems bad, the lovers cling to one another - you say it so very well!

Thankyou..
Many thanks Joyce. I'm quite pleased I put that line in now, because it seems to fit the piece ok. I changed it a few times before that. Thanks for your comment.
