Hi-Dong Chai Poet Free verse

Marriage

Marriage is not dollars and dimes
Not beauty that is skin deep

But
Two hearts joined together
Holding hands

Journeying 
Through
Sunny days
And 
Stormy nights

With
Gratitude
In their hearts

Knowing
They are journeying
Together

On
This planet 
Call the Earth

Even 
For a twinkling
Of an eye

Quoth Theraven June 14, 2020 at 3:59 PM Hi-Dong, I enjoy reading your philosophical poems. Now I'll move on to one of your books 'Shattered by the Wars: But Sustained by Love'. Interesting to learn from one who is educated formally and through living. I hope it was all worth the journey. -Richard
