Ending An Engagement
We planned a wedding, in a Unitarian Church to be,
and in excitement, we sent out invitations!
But I discovered, we would never live together happily in
blissful harmony, as do scented, peaceful carnations.
This was during the most contentious Viet Nam War!
I was wearing a leather peace symbol, which
made you massively irritated and sore.
You warned me,after, we were married, nothing to do
with peace, could ever grace our walls?
With me in Indian headband, and tie dyed dress, this
order was rather tall!
So, I bid you farewell, it was not a big loss....
Your brain was covered with thick,stubborn, moss.
I had marches to attend and yes, they were all quite
peaceful.
And the War did end, and my life went on to be more
than full and mirthful.
Indeed, I have changed in political positions and ways
of thinking.
But I had enough sense at that time to end, what would
turned out the be, a most unfortunate linking!
Life...so life a roller coaster, quite scary yey magical!
I have found it to be anything but diabolical.
The best of everything is yet to come.
Dancing in shadows, behind a magical,rainbow wall!
