For Better, For Worse
"...for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part..."
The water is rising
Above the bridge, waist-high
The winds are arguing
They speak in our place, in our silence
The clouds cover, surrounding us
They listen
Fog rolls in
Thunder too
Tears roll down, adding to the flood
Emotions swim, and the heart pours-
Drowning us
As the storm approaches, hope may leave
But, we stay
Better has come and been
Then, comes the latter-
"...for worse"
And the former
"in sickness..."
In both, we both spoke
"I do"
So, we will-
"till death do us part..."
We stay
In the eye of the storm
As the piano plays, and the sky cries
The waters will rise and fall
The clouds watch us waltz
Not to worry about the weather
Even when we can't see, the sun still sings
Regardless of the waters
Neither torment nor treasure will, but we will-
Be forever

Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.
