I was lost in the world
Wandering in dreams
Unaware of my needs
Then you appeared
A soft light in my soul
A pale new moon
Lighting the road
Don’t fear, don’t doubt
This love we have—
Cling to me now
And stop looking back
For the world we knew
Before we met
Holds nothing but pain
And sad regret
You trust in God
Trust in me;
A three-fold cord
Can't break easily.
...
A person alone can be attacked,
But two can stand back to back.
Three are even better,
For a triple-braided cord
Endures great pressure.
—Eccl. 4: 9-12
This reminds me of a song by Cliff Richards. You know the one :) Beautiful truths in these words.
I do know the one :)
Hay días que haces magia, @johnjgeddes y hoy es uno de esos días. El amor es uno de los sentimientos que puede hacer grande e invencible al hombre. Cuando amamos y ese sentimiento es correspondido, nos paramos de frente al mundo con los ojos llenos de futuro y las manos llenas para dar. Hay lazos que nunca podrán romperse, el caso por ejemplo del cordón umbilical que tienen a madre e hijo. También cuenta la leyenda, que al nacer, cada uno es bordado con un hilo rojo que Dios pone para que sepas cuál es la pareja que te acompañará en la vida. Ese hilo se volverá un caos, pero nunca se romperá. Las mejores parejas las hizo Dios en el cielo. Te felicito por amar. Un abrazo
Gracias, Nancy. Creo en los vínculos inquebrantables y el hilo escarlata que nos une es Jesús
You trust in God
Trust in me;
A three-fold cord
Can't break easily.
Wow ... that is a stanza to remember. Beautiful poem from start to finish:)
Thanks, Pryde :)
I often look for ‘love poems’, and I’m often dissatisfied by what I find. Sometimes, it feels to me that what I’m looking for is out of fashion. As a lover of love, and a believer that teamwork is essential in the reinforcement of the enduring, thriving kind of love, this was a beautiful one. So I’m all for clinging onto what’s precious and ropes are always handy. :)
Thank you for sharing this piece.

you see the light of sight is half the right see
the other half is the accountabily upon such a gift
the sight and light go hand in hand
for once joined you will not find a worthier band
how long the coarse of this lesson has run
that the extinction of those for whom it was meant has begun
lessons long and short are always there
so the excuses for darkness have gone cold
Thanks
It's kind of my habit to comment with a few couplets on a poetry post. My answer might not be necessarily related to the context of the post, but we can only write what comes to us,right?
Thanks for the post man,
This is beautiful, a well written poem. Kudos
The quote from the bible is very true and it explains why they always say that there is strength in unity and togetherness .
Nice one
nice poem I just comment with this
join hands together unite determination
grasping for the future
together we stand stronger we defeat the obstacles
only love can unite us
down the aisle to greet the brilliant light
only love can unite
only love can inflame
the spirit to survive the downturn
