Virtuous Wreck

(double sijo) virtuous woman seasoned of life’s wisdom without schism sex kitten smitten, honey dos omitted, all lies acquitted having searched wrecked world over… found fickle love… where’s my dove? ~ like a wreck upon sands of salty seas, `Tis God hears my pleas "Still round the corner there may wait, a new road or a secret gate." as hollowed hull awaits true love’s fate… a virtuous mate ========================================== Tracie ~*~ Indigo Dream weaver Contest Name In a land called fantasy

Dear John, I have had similar frustration finding my own "dove." There don't seem to be too many "virtuous mates" out there, but all we can do is live according to God's plan and seek his guidance. Congratulations on your success in Tracie's contest! Love, Carolyn
