NaPoMo poem #21
This is twenty first of the poems I will write this April, in honor of National Poetry Month, as proclaimed by the Academy of American Poets.
This poem is a wedding prayer inspired by the read write poem NaMoWriMo prompt #21, “rite of passage”.

Our Dreams
(a wedding prayer)
•
we place our dreams in our open palms
so the winds of fortune
will make them soar
we bless our dreams with the gift of song
so their chords are sweet
and their sound is pure
we bestow our dreams the wings of faith
so they lift and carry
to wisdom’s shore
we unite our dreams this blessed day
so love will bind them
forevermore

This is beautiful. Rhyming the last line of each verse makes it sing.

rob,
“sometimes when I am very brave - I whisper to myself, “you are a poet.” other times when people ask me what I do, i say more loudly, “i am a poet.” when i read your work neither the need for confirmation nor the question arises. It just is. poetry. thank you.”

Beautifully written and the flow is flawless.
