Union
By Peter Scott
Reflect for a moment
Lounge pensively
Contemplating the significance brought
By a sensational word
RELATIONSHIP
Taken with nonchalance
And others reverence
What consecrates the boundary
Of definitions?
Born of belief
Each one of us
Individually yet united
Must clarify the term
The root of many subjects
We fail only when abandoning to abstracts
Firm walls can not be built
On the shifting sands
Reverie held passionately
The concept is sacred
While a constant force
Directing every endeavor setting me to task
Not a trifle commitment
Fate hath afforded ample opportunity
Most of which I have taken
Finding myself a frequent
The importance no less overwhelming
A relationship signifies
Everlasting love
And a current tide-wave of emotions
Where none lay closer to heart
My commitment arousing Herculean strength
Always at your defense
I will stand at your side
Not merely deriving from gallantry
A relationship can be
Nothing less than sharing in your soul
Shepparding a part of you to them
Eventually synthesizing into one essence
Given time
Relationships are a prelude to eternity
Whence a deeper understanding is born
The declaration
Of our souls
In minute conversations of confidence and query
Growing from donation of a shoulder
It is an offering and deed to coexist
In form
And soul
Where what's mine is yours
But paramount to the whole
A relationship inaugurates indefatigable fidelity.
