Validation: A Destiny Chosen

Validation: A Destiny Chosen

A Poem by Amanda Granger
"

A traditional rhyme scheme for a good ole fashion love poem.

"

I found you sitting by the sea
The water drew you close to me,
And I the current favorable found,
Taking your hand, I left the ground.


We floated on our raft of fish
Leaving the port of love, our wish
To settle on some forgotten shore
Where we can love and live forevermore


Untroubled by past specters which might
Frighten us and tug us apart at night
When on dark waters we hazardous tread
Our hands slipping, pulled by riptides dread.


No gods will set our course smooth.
Only trust, honesty, like honey sooth;
The deepest fears will never we head
For words, wisdom, and love are all we need.


Held as though by a magnetic field
Our two hearts oft are want to yield
Like iron pooled at the farthest poles
A constant force to bridge our souls.

"Untroubled by past specters which might / Frighten us and tug us apart at night" This is excellent. The whole piece is great, but these two lines have so much resonance to them. Well done!
