And Jacob served seven years for Rachel;
for the love he had to her.

honey sweet brown eyes embrace
my riches my hope my treasure
how warm how soft how strong

at the crossroads for guidance praying
choose of three ways each without return
no turning around ever never going back

~

drunken orgies meaningless pleasure
indulging partners strange and weird
hedonism sin of excess in abandon

self exile alone in wild secluded forest
dedicated to study and living in nature
severed of humanity of love and touch

~

patient faith enduring persevering
never looking back not to before
chose hope a long-suffering love

four years ten or twenty and five
never longing back to far ago
believing trusting patiently wait

Be strong and of a good courage;
for the Lord thy God is with thee
whithersoever thou goest.

I presume the three choices are of damaging empty wayward lifestyle, or seeking to curb that with total isolation from other people and temptation, or waiting patiently for true love, and with God’s love supporting. No-one who has tasted that would be satisfied with anything less, though this life be hard. Rhiannon

Thanks Rhiannon! What it means is what it means to you. I believe writing should be universal and timeless and really for me it must be so although it is not always easy. You have the right idea but this story was meant perhaps as a bit more litteral.

Keep well! Nolan &
