A wonderful poem titled "Marriage" was the inspiration for this post. Margie at "When The Heart Speaks" has given me permission to share her poem on my blog. Thank you, Margie. "Marriage is an instrument
designed to be played upon
by twenty fingers, and which,
when tuned with delicate precision
by human love and empathy,
is capable of exalting souls
and moving mountains; however,
the music is composed by two artists,
the songs are sung by two mouths
and the martial concert is directed
by two conductors;
thus the longed-for-achievement
of perfect harmony demands
a deliberate and calculated
double self-sacrifice,
that from this union of two
there may arise
perfect oneness."
Marriage is a special subject for me. And this poem awakened my intense passion for the commitment of two people making choices to enhance and adhere to the sacred bond of togetherness. Everything in this poem audibly describes the joint effort of two lovers to achieve oneness. Our eyes and ears are not solely for the beloved, we drive to jobs and talk to other people, but our hearts are reserved unquestionably for the specific person chosen by the intense joy in loving someone unconditionally.

Marriage...don't know....But I totally agree that we all are seeking our souls other half.....and a gazillion special never-ventured feelings are reserved for the special one!!!
What a lovely poem - wonderful imagery! The last line takes the cake, so to speak.
A great post from Margie and you. Lovely jubbly ;0)
Great work. My love and I are approaching 15 years now. Still get excited when she walks into the room. I feel we're more exception and rule though. Lots of unhappiness around us. Beautiful poem.
I think she might have meant marital in this line though "and the martial concert is directed"
Cheers,
