UNITY
Unity is a milky, pearly white.
It looks like starlight on a clear, bright night.
It sounds like a cob calling to his pen.
It smells like popcorn shared in the den.
It tastes like sweat as we share one life.
It feels like serenity throughout the strife.
Unity is two, a husband and wife.

That is an ideal, not always manifest in humans or many creatures.

I agree, Roger, but so are a lot of other things like honesty and trust. However, If a man's reach does not exceed his grasp, then what's a heaven for??
ReplyDeleteI agree with both of you.
ReplyDeleteIt can be had in a marriage.....just not perfectly...you're right Leslie, that will only happen in heaven. But in this imperfect life, I have found lots of unity with my dear husband! And when it's not to be found, well we have more than one room in the house and each has a tv. :)

I absolutely love the photograph of the swans. Unity is a great word to feature.
ReplyDeleteCalm, peaceful -- and beautiful...
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable shot. I love the little babies! I also love the poem you accompanied with it. Lovely thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI so admire your turn of thought, this is beautiful Leslie, and when it comes to ideal, yes, I believe our reach should always exceed our grasp.

ReplyDeleteAny advice to enjoy for my holiday?
It's very good that you used a photo of swans for this post. The unity of a swan family is well known and the unity of a swan couple will last until death takes one of them away.
