It is so hard to get to that deep root of love, Christine, when things aren’t going right, and patience can often fly out the window. Sometimes the shouting is the only release, but it doesn’t really help the situation. You’ve captured that so well in this poem, so much so that I wanted to wade in and referee! I like the way you isolated the lines:
‘It was at that darkest moment
we crossed the Delaware’
and
‘Together’.
A breakthrough indeed and the rainbow tied it up neatly!
love that has deep roots will triumph – lots of messages here Christine, crossing the river holds significance for me, over water a curse has no power, well at least what we were told to believe. wonderful poem!
Thank you Gina. I did not know that a curse could not travel across water. How fascinating! It would also apply to the line My reference to crossing the Delaware was about George Washington’s massive success during the revolutionary war. 💕🙂
a myth here I suppose, but maybe held some sort of persuasion back in the day. Thank you for the clarification on the Delaware River, I have driven by it and it is beautiful, also the salt flats nearby.
I like your ending lines. Love will win.
Thanks Ali. I’m happy you liked it. ☺️
Navigating the breaking point together, as Washington crossed the Delaware, forges a love stronger and everlasting. Well written.
Thank you so much Beverly. I’m happy you enjoyed that line ☺️
I love the incorporation of the Delaware Crossing comparison.
Thanks Jay. It was an achievement! ☺️
Sounds like it!
I like the progression if I interpreted it correctly going from divisive statement to silence to an eternal flame.
Yes you did interpret it very well Frank. Thank you so much 🙂
Beautiful, through and through, and the last verse was a great ending
Thanks so much Jude. I appreciate it 🥰
My pleasure

The moment found, clear as day…
“A rainbow appeared
as clarity was found”
Thank you dear Ivor 💕🙂
