Your last two have been loaded with heaviosity. Well done. One comment:

The eyes, the inner window giving lightness to the spirit, or darkness and (dome), > doom?

Very elegan and enigmatic poem here on "The Promise"
relating to a promise given during exchange of marital
vowes. Very serene and succinct presentation of the
entire being's engagement and entwining of virtues and
strengths each has to offer. Great artwork and tone
throughout. Thanks for sharing.

I find the contrasts you write of interesting and tend to agree with most of them. I like how you went from the spiritual to the physical and how they all relate to the whole being.

This poem flows well and has some good wisdom in its poetic verve. I found nothing in error in this well written verse. It was just a delight to have read and written a review for... John

Hi GW,

I like this poem with its wise words. You have some good phrasing and your word choices are well done. Just a couple of things.."win's" should be "wins" and I am wondering if in your 10th line do you mean "doom" rather than "dome?" You last line is especially powerful. Well done....chey

I enjoyed your sharing of your words of wisdom. I especially liked your many metaphors: "eclipse," "butterfly" and "window/dome." I very much admired the "oak" simile in your powerful last line.

Another though provoking poem, providing a choice and of opposites as well as a cause and effect list of the consequences of the choices we make. I liked the listing of the separate body parts and their involvement in making up the whole: heart, mind, soul, body, eyes, hands, legs and feet.

An enjoyable piece of spiritual
poetry - your words ringing true.

The mind win's
The mind wins

The temple(,) your body(,) is given freely in love
The eyes(,) the inner window
The hands(,)

The legs give the - now this is correct as it is a run-on sentence - but the others you've presented like listings.

Margaret

My favorite lines were
"The hands earthly importance helps to carry your compassion in life,
The legs give the strength to move on the path set by your forefathers,
The feet you stand like an oak, holding the promise of your commitments" There is a lot of determination exuding from these words. - JeJo
