Single Red Ribbon

Once there was a ribbon a single red ribbon two gold rings threaded. Upon either end. Upon a silver tray were rings placed with silver scissors beside a single red rose. In token symbol of love everlasting tender young love beauty still held at bay. Once there were two hearts lonely grief striken hearts. Hanging lost separate lives like loose hanging threads. As rings were tied so were their lives. As rings were sealed in red threaded ties. Rings must be taken. Placed awaited longing finger. Symbolically joining two forsaken. Could no longer isolated linger. Red ribbon cut in a free easy moment two joined in symbol never free when apart. Witness joining of two could not be apart. Symbolically spiritually two already entwined deeply at heart. Once there was a ribbon a single red ribbon. Two could not be apart never were they apart. With a love that outlasts frail human heart. With a love that outlasts the very beats of their synchronized hearts. Copyright © Terence George Craddock
