knot on bridge

It was tied just tight enough

held the boats

moored during a storm

allowing them to freely float

It was tied just tight enough

when they said “I do”

to allow for freedom of love

without mind control on cue

It was tied just tight enough

the family a happy bunch

celebrations a frolic

memories made not crushed

Thank you for visiting Moondustwriter. One of the many exciting things I've had the honor of doing is writing with an E. African team that is developing elementary curriculum for African children. As a writer, it is a thrill to help children (on all continents) who want to learn. I've been part of the blogging community for more than 10 years. Some old timers may remember the award winning (2011 Twitter Shorty ) blog community - One Stop Poetry. I was the co-producer of that fast growing blog community. I am a published writer, poet, artist and photographer. I have written, as well as edited, for periodicals, radio, blogs and fellow writers. There are many facets to this moon - thanks for stopping by. View more posts

I love how you brought the beauty of vows to freely floating boats peacefully drifting about, beautiful 🙂

That is the delicate balance needed – tight yet giving enough to allow for freedom and no mind control. Awesome.

Very flowing poem. Very good read too, like a sailing ship sailing smoothly on calm seas. Intertwining vows and knots…your ideas seem to come out of no where 🙂

Those who know how to tie the perfect knot, are those who know how to live together forever. The knot may slip from time to time, but it can always be re-tied.
