Commitment

  Safe in armsThat embraced two pastsTwo roads in lifeTheir different routesCollided with comet speed With lighting strikeLove poured outMerged and bondedWith all that they touched Verdant green in the winter’s snowTheir love grewIt was beautiful to watch the unfoldingAs walls tumbled and gates openedOn fallow feelings deep in both Today a joyful marriageOf united hopeFrom green sliversTo ripening golden barleyThat dances in the fieldOf their new lifeTo the tune of Meatloaf.

Hi Ian

Thanks for dropping in. Not too sure if it is right yet but I have given them a copy to read and should get feedback there too. She sang with a meatloaf tribute band and he is a cattle farmer with a love of growing barley...a complex love match if there was ever one. Best Wishes Seabhac

I wonder if there is barley

I wonder if there is barley in the meat loaf. ;-) Lovely poem... I'll be interested in how you'll read it when it's *finished*, replete with feedback. Perhaps you'll post it as *spoken word*? ~A "If you think you're free, there's no escape possible." ~ Ram Dass

Early stages yet

They have a few points they would like tweeked and they feel a little more length would help and for me I have been feeling that I would lke to do some spoken work soon and this seems the best focus to begin such a quest with. Thanks A Seabhac

Grab life while you can

Wise and lovely words Liz...Meat Loaf? Which song? I love all his songs...especially the one that refers to..."Let me sleep on it"...I'd be asking, before marriage..."Do you love me”...reply “I'll give you an answer in the morning...Mmm!" Rosina xena465
