A Promise Wed

The soul is not
  by nature born

Or by the earth
  breastfed

It kneels before
  loves distant star

Whose light
  —its promise wed

I'm not a big fan of short poems, but this one I really liked. Nice job.

Thanks David, after 50 years of writing, I strive to be shorter and shorter in this new world of reduced attention spans.
