Poetry with Morel
Dear Reader, here’s wishing you a wonderful weekend. I’m hoping for a sunny weekend. I went walking yesterday and on the way home I got totally drenched, my shoes are currently drying out (poor me). I’m sure the sun is somewhere behind the rain, I would like to encourage the sun to come out to play. When plodding through the rain, and feeling sorry for myself a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow came to mind, here are the concluding lines to the poem:
‘Into each life some rain must fall
Some days must be dark and dreary’.
Yes, the message is that we should expect that some days will be dark and dreary, some days will be good and some not so good, the downs of life should help us to appreciate days when things goes right.?
This week I’m focusing on women, I will present two poems, I won’t give an explanation for the reasoning behind the poems, but do feel free to leave a comment if you need an explanation (my feeble attempt to see if you will interact with me).?Reminder: Please Subscribe to this Newsletter - Thank you.
Ring
It’s a bitter pill to swallow but so it must be
We’ll raise a glass and put the past to sleep
This journey between us is now complete
You will go your way and let the future be
This ring will bring the chapter to an end
I’ll place it here so that all parties can see
Goodbye to dissonance, struggle and strife
From this night I relinquish all my rights
I’m no longer a member of your family tree
I’ll create a new life for the children and me
As we say farewell, know that I wish you well
I wish you all the best, goodnight my friend

Pride Girls
A hot summer’s evening and it poured with rain
领英推荐
Girls dressed in their finest linen, but all is okay
Nothing could dampen their spirits to spoil the day
They laughed and danced and crossed their hearts
And wondered why love was never depicted this way
Beautiful young girls, never knew what could be
Story book love was always between he and she
Feelings of love, painted in a most traditional way
Where boy meets girl, preserving the way of the world
Love could only be between a man, a man and his girl
They were soaked to the skin but they felt free
Purified, to freely love, they showed affection openly
There was pride in their stride and for the first time
They felt a sense of completeness, a sense of belonging
Girls, happy to be gay, to be who they want to be
(Morel Benard
