Promise Poem by Neal Cruz

Promise
Into my life a soft wind blow
her spirit true and center glow
my gaze aware did follow thou
to swirl about in hope’s corral

Dance, share, and witness bare
soul and breast with raring ear
with words so pure did hope arise
to a supple state my soul surmise

Though bulwark spring to ward my heart
my feet stood fast, and na’er would part
her salute was captain beyond all scrutinay
my mind and feet abide in mutiny

Hope and trust did spark affection
passions slumbering roused in conjunction
endearing gaze still deeper dash
a kindred bond a red rose sash

Now each day I peer the chart
with leeward sail she guides my heart
hope abounds for future come
affection and love is now my drum
Promise
