Waiting
Is far different than
Not Wanting
Waiting
Is partial, temporarily chosen
Abstinence
Waiting
For blush, blue bouquets
Cracked oak wine barrels
Yards of lingering lace
Blue skies with slight breeze
A veil that flutters beneath
a Diamond-encrusted tiara
That is discarded at night
Once the waiting is over
Waiting
Is far different than
Not Wanting.
The Seven Virtues were created to combat each of the Seven Deadly Sins. These Seven Virtues first appeared tied together in an epic poem titled Pschomachia, written by Aurelius Clemens Prudentius, a Christian governor of the 400s AD. To battle Lust, there is Chastity.
Chastity is the state or practice of refraining from extramarital, or from all, sexual intercourse. In this poem, I really wanted to focus on the point that chastity is not necessary having no sexual desires, but it is all about choosing not to act on them.
Happy Writing Everyone!

I agree. Waiting is far different then not wanting. And there’s also a reason to practice waiting in all other aspects of your life. It’s grooming you.

I’ve known the distance between waiting and not wanting for a long time, but I can honestly say that waiting is worth it!

amen. I totally agree. Which is why I can be patient, knowing God has the greatest surprise ever prepared for me. It’s kind of exciting.
