Untying Yes.

 

 

Untying Yes.

Threaded up tightly with strong mesh of steel
Life knots itself up into troublesome streams.
Romance arrives then brings endless feelings
And finite seems time when rush is unleashed.

Haste stifles emotion and crushes dreams.

 

Safe in much waiting, I have found methods
Of sailing to wanting where, need refreshed,
Love's patient anchor lowers then dredges
New destiny's whys to bolster  the whens.

Then untying yes is  easy, not knife-edged.

 

As decision's guide opens Paradise-gates
I enter and know that he is there waiting.

This reminds me of a song by Faith Hill about 2 decades ago & I'll paraphrase -- now I know you accept me as I am, I'm willing to be whatever you want me to be (the sweet surrender of an independent woman). "Untying Yes" is one of the most thought-provoking short phrases I've read in weeks . . . unforgettable, really. I've never been married in 64 yrs, but I would imagine this is hard, saying "yes" to certain aspects of being committed & connected to another special person, while also still saying "yes" to your own independent aspects that still need freedom to thrive. Nicely thought-provoking on the philosophical side! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

' Safe in much waiting, I have found methods - Of sailing to wanting where, need refreshed ..

Wise words known, believed, adventuring the mind, heart and all other incidentals? So, Fay, seems best to pause, consider, sip, sigh and then: move on and on knowing there are fairies hiding at the end of the most beautiful garden of all. Perhaps, Words to savour a while, thank you. x
