Marriage is an instrument
designed to be played upon
by twenty fingers, and which
when tuned with delicate precision
by human love and empathy
is capable of exalting souls
and moving mountains; however
the music is composed by two artists
the songs are sung by two mouths
and the martial concert is directed
by two conductors
thus the longed-for-achievement
of perfect harmony demands
a deliberate and calculated
double self-sacrifice
that from this union of twothere may arise
perfect oneness.
so very sweet n romantic :)

brilliant words there! I guess all married ppl and to-be-married need to read that one! There's alot of greatness in those words that can truly protect and save many Marriages out there.
ur a blessed one Margie!

Margie,
ReplyDeleteI liked it. Isn't this what makes all marriages work and last a long long time? I look at all the couples I know who have been married for years and years and this is what I do believe has brought them to a union and a togetherness. Very well done.

Your TRUTH so beautifully presented. It is the appreciation of the diversity, the need for orchestration, each with its own expression, sharing a vision, a purpose, an intent, that defines the oneness. Never static always in a dynamic flux...
you got the essence so correct!!
ReplyDeleteand, THANK YOU!! :)
your husband is so lucky to have you...
ReplyDeleteMargie...what wonderful lines,i just wrote it down on my note book...thanks for visiting me.
ReplyDeleteMargie you are so wise! I loved this and I may print it so I remember always!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful, true lines Margie!
ReplyDeleteYou've said it all - everything that a young couple starting out on the journey of marriage needs to keep in mind.
But also a wonderful reminder for those of us that have been married for years. :)
Hi Margie-
ReplyDeleteWe seem to be traveling in the same blog circle :-) - I delightfully run in to you . :-) I thought i would stop by and say "hello". I really like your poetry. I too am blessed with contentment and freedom in my marriage. Although I "paid my dues" to get here. My Dad would say, "Gimpy (my nic-name), you finally got it right"!!!) My Dad passed almost 25 years ago. I will visit often and hope you will stop by my blog when you have a monent.
Love and peace
Gail

Very nice,
ReplyDeletethe base element that brings happiness is sacrifice...and it seems an old word..only the old as you and me understand it! :)
so many women choose to stay unmarried and so many divorces i see around here,
well its all a matter of their personal choice,
wishes,
devika
