I had never heard this poem but it totally enchanted me!ETA Jonika, I know this is not the typical more descriptive read, but I felt it perfectly answered the question, and that nothing else needed to be added!
Hi Katie - my reading consists of a poem, lol! I looked into the ball and what I saw was an owl gently holding a cat in its claws. The cat looked playful and happy, so I did not feel it was a threatening grip. So I went searching for what that vision said to me...from an old poem from childhood. In regard to your question, "Romance for me?" this is what I got:
The Owl and the Pussy-Cat
BY EDWARD LEAR
I
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
"O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!"
II
Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?"
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the Bong-Tree grows
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose,
His nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.
III
"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will."
So they took it away, and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.
I think you will soon meet someone to share your life with, if you are not already with him. Seems like it will be a happy and light-hearted romance! [emoji813]
ETA it also struck me that though there may not be a lot of money between the two of you, there is so much fun and love, it does not seem to matter
In some ways it reminded me of my children's father whom I seperated from not long ago. We had been together for 18 years, I have started seeing other people but they all lack that 'something '. I feel a little lost these days and find myself no longer recognizing who I am any longer nor the actions that I am taking. Your poem hit some kind of emotional cord and I need to find the source of these emotions. Thank you for this...you are right that we weren't rich but we were richer in other ways. Mid life crisis any one?? [emoji17]
