Poem
It was in a different era from today’s when two soul mates met - a time when a single woman could afford no blemish on her reputation. For them to meet in public would require a trusted friend to be their sentry, for one of them was engaged to a man she wished not to wed. Under the guise of an enterprise in the home of the one betrothed, they met! Once having met, the two had fallen deeply in love, for how can one turn one’s sight from the visage of astral skies once seeing the brilliance of bright stars in one’s soul mate’s eyes? How can one not long to see their adored ever again? Though it may have been a pernicious thing to do, they chanced one day to traverse a valley to be with one another, for nothing could dampen their anticipation of that rendezvous. Their time was but one week together, and then it was ended. Years later, the one who had remained single sat watching the face of the one who had been forced into marriage, who sat on the opposite side of the balcony of a theater, not knowing her lover watched her secretly from afar as she listened to the melancholy strains of music coming from the orchestra. It was the symphony of their love story, and as it played on, her eyes (two bright stars) wept beautifully sad tears. Nov. 5, 2020 for John Hamilton's 'Eight word challenge 11' Contest NA For Brian Strand's the 'ALL YOURS (Feb 2)' Poetry Contest
