Pride (An Acrostic, written in June, “Pride Month”)

AuburnScribbler

 

Purified I am, with a shining natural

Realisation, that I can love universally,

Intertwined I have always been, let not

Deafening silence; be your song friend,

Embrace you, be you, live you, unashamedly!

  • Comment from author about the poem: First and foremost, Happy Pride everyone! Though I've known for a very long while, last year I officially came out as bi, thus, I am now part of the LGBTQ+ community. So, I thought, that the above acrostic; succinctly entitled "Pride", would act as a little homage not only to the LGBTQ+ community, but to all communities, who strive to be themselves in a very proud way. The cover photo; appropriately, is an array of love hearts in different colours to celebrate variety, and the accompanying image of a rainbow lion from CrystalStar716 on flckr, portrays the inner strength that all of us have; in doing what we do. I hope you enjoy the poem, that you take something from it, and as always, stay safe everyone!

  • dusk arising

    Live and let live.

    • AuburnScribbler

      For sure dusk arising, thank you for the read, and I hope that you are having a lovely day!

    • Doggerel Dave

      It was, I suspect AS, a long hard road and it’s great you have now reached a happy destination. You take care of yourself.
      Your cheer and happiness comes through in your post.

      • AuburnScribbler

        You're right, it was a road of both confusion, but then clarity.

        Though in this matter; I have reached this happy destination, life's road; is still ahead, and may be even longer, I just hope that it'll all work out.

        Thank you for the read Doggerel Dave, and I hope that all is well!

          Brave write, A.S.
          Standing on the roof
          Hand in hand, we jump
          Children in the wind

          • AuburnScribbler

            • Fay Slimm.

              I have always loved the phrase Dusk has used in his comment - to live and let live allows all to be just themselves - points well made here in your acrostic A.S.

              • AuburnScribbler

                Thank you for the read Fay, and I totally agree what dusk arising said in his comment.

                I'm glad that you enjoyed the poetic points made here.

                I hope that all is well!

                May that Universal love be forever strong within you Ben, we must have that pint soon.

                Andy

                  Thank you for the read Andy, and yes, may universal love be strong, not just in me, but in all of us, and of course, a drink is definitely on the cards soon!
