NaPoWriMo Day 7: Today our prompt (optional, of course) is to write a poem based on a news article. I have chosen to write on the below news, that I found really interesting 🙂
Ring lost in US 47 years ago is found buried in a Finnish forest
The lost ring
The summer of 1973,
Etched in my heart deeply
When the only mark of your love
The sapphire ring that I treasured
How I misplaced in the store
To this day, I cry to the core
Every time I touched that ring
I felt your presence with me
The love that kept me alive
A relation that was my pride
How carelessly I let it paralyze
A glory falsified
“Honey, it’s just a ring, not valuable than your tears,”
Your words always a solace, to dispel all my fears
You soon replaced the sapphire
With an exquisite wedding solitaire
Love grew leaps and bounds
Forty years, we lived abound
Forty years we spent in harmony
When angels took you on your journey
Three years since we parted ways,
Agony and pain still weighs
The solitaire- a gem of ecstasy
But blue sapphire missing the legacy
To heavens you took my love
And even from far and above
You directed the cherubs to Earth
“The blue sapphire needs to be unearthed”
The ring that I lost in Portland
Found its ground in the soil of Finland!
I stand overtly appalled-
At the mystery that’s unsolved
Is it a miracle or a blessing-
A ring discovered 47 years, after it went missing
I feel you caressing me in love
As I wear the blue sapphire- our symbol of love
