Dragonfly Denny’s marriage to the King was a mystical union through which he metaphorically “groomed” her for her destiny. This is in stark contrast to many of the classic fairy tales in which marriage to another human being is the dream, and an end in itself. Instead, a Transcendent power prepared and equipped Denny to fulfill her destiny.
As Denny’s relationship with the King deepened, they bound their hearts together in a spiritual union which is reflected in the following lyrics. It is romantic, poetic, and it is a song.
Sing me a sonnet, my Poet King
I want to be Your bride.
To be captured by Your perfect love…
such longing deep inside.
~
Write me a rhyme
dance me a dance
spin me around in rich romance.
~
To bask in the glory of Your gaze
I find myself undone…
…and melt at the touch of Your embrace
my heart is wholly won.
~
Write me a rhyme
dance me a dance
spin me around in rich romance.
Adorned in the riches of Your grace
with jewels of Your love −
I’ll dwell in Your castle all my days
my Prince of Peace, my dove.
~
Write me a rhyme
dance me a dance
spin me around in rich romance.
Sing me a sonnet, my Poet King
I want to be Your bride.

“I’ll sing you a sonnet, My darling bride
My queen, My joy, My rose.
The sweetest of music for your soul
I’ll willingly compose.
~
I‘ll write you a rhyme
dance you a dance
spin you around in rich romance.
I’ll sing you a sonnet, My darling bride
My queen, My joy, My rose.”
Because relationships have the capacity to influence us positively or negatively, it’s important with whom we bind our hearts. Sometimes people intentionally try to “groom” us a certain way. If their motives are pure and they seek our best interest, that can be a beneficial experience. However, if people are not invested in our welfare or their aim is exploitation, it can be very destructive. Take time to consider whether your relationships have been (and are) pure or exploitative.
Rainbows speak of promises
written in the sky…
that good will follow times of rain −
providential kind design.
Rainbows are symbols of promises. A promise signifies hope and an expectation that either something good awaits you or that you can depend on continuing to experience a good thing that is yours presently. When fulfilled, a promise is a source of deep satisfaction. However, when a promise is broken, it can be devastating and shatter our ability to trust (especially if our heart was fully engaged in the relationship).
What promises have been made to you in life – by parents, teachers, coaches, spiritual leaders, friends, or an adult love relationship? Which ones were fulfilled and which ones broke your heart? On the other hand, in the same way that we long for promises to be fulfilled for us, others long for us to follow through on our promises to them. How true are you to your word (both long-term and daily)? Consider your relationships to your family, friends, business associates, etc.
Commitment to a common hope,
shared loyalty to mission
can help one weather work involved
in birthing of a vision.
Commitment to a vision or dream and loyalty to a partner who shares that vision is crucial for each person to know the other is dependable. Will your partner persevere through the labor involved in “birthing” your mutual dream? Under what circumstances might there be limits on loyalty to fellow human beings?
