of once adored ...

in all our lives
from beginning to end
the path we take
on others depend

a woman of strength
weakened by the fight
led astray by the dark
of some other's light

a man of pride
shamed by his loss
hides his head
at any cost

with love's bond broken
and rings put away
never to harvest
their lengthy stay

but to look upon
the day afresh
with eyes anew
from each is best

to see the glory
in resounded love
to feel the passion
again from above

find your paths
together once more
return to love
of once adored

My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

Very nice... "but to look upon the day afresh with eyes anew from each is best"  To me this is a message of moving past our mistakes.  I enjoyed this.

Oh Mark, what a difficult path that is...to try to get back that which you once had...but if you really love each other its a path well worth the walk...wonderful write here...and good to see you back

It only stands to reason that on the day I write a free verse, you post a rhyme.    A very well done rhyme at that, MA. The simple structure a deceptive device, however, for there is much to ponder here. Take care,

Hey what a wonderful creation you bring.  To end up where you belonged in the first place after mistakes took you away would be the greatest gift of all.  Shows truth and strength in your write.
