The Collar and the Rings

entry picture

One ring – to symbolize devotion and love for my One
One ring – to symbolize commitment to myself and my journey
One collar – to symbolize my love and submission to Him

Thoughts race
Jumbled
Inside my head
My emotions vacillate
From one extreme to the next
What I’ve wanted so much
Is finally here
Happiness, elation
Tears of joy
Should dominate
My mood but
They switch
On and off
With terror and fear
Doubts run amok
What does this mean
How can it be
Can they coexist
The collar and the rings?
