Like Ring And Finger

How did we get here?
All fear dissolved.

Only acceptance
litters the brain now,

fortified by loved
stained visions
of a beautiful day …

A breathtaking life
awaits us, strips us
of all impurity.

Like ring and finger,
our hearts entwined,
forever and always.

    This was exceptionally beautiful because of it's simplicity.

    These lines were dazzling

    "fortified by loved
    stained visions
    of a beautiful day …

    A breathtaking life
    awaits us, strips us
    of all impurity."

    Well penned, well versed, and well done. And congrats.

    Congratulations and good luck in life and with poetry. This simple poem carry out your heart as well as your poetical voice. It is not easy to say so much with a minimum of words. Great, really great done.

    A secret about that ring...

    I dare say it strips folk of impurity... but actually causes them to think about the cost of being impure where they previously never even contemplated such. Tis as lovely a thought however... as is your engagement... and likewise the way you have expressed your heartfelt vision of the new path which awaits you as a couple and not just as an individual. Blessings for a beautiful beginning to the both of you.

    smiling from beginning to end. beautiful way to describe your engagement. congratulations

  • This was fantastic! I love the last stanza with the simile you use but my favorite line is, "A breathtaking life awaits us, strips us of all impurity."
    Your page said you are usually negative but I don't see much negativity here. This was amazing!!!
