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.

Debs :.)

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!

Thankyou..

Thankyou so much dolanf I am truly touched by your words...Just to know that they mean something to somebody is enough for me. Thankyou once again.

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!

joyce

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.
