Marriage

It’s not about the individual, 

it’s the sum of the two parts.

More than “I” it is “we.”

No mystery, it requires 

stubbornness.

It is sometimes fiery, often hot, 

and always warm.

Tepid leads to trouble.

Drive the spike into the rock and keep climbing.

On belay, belay on.

Remember the first days of the sweet, tranquil scent

 of mountain spice.

Bathe in the memory pool of rose petals.

Remember the goodness of it, you must.

The Maker will assist, He is the creator of 

it’s inward  beauty.

He modeled what it takes.

Follow it. Try.  

For your sake and those around you. 

The world is watching, 

suspecting that you can’t, 

that you won’t.
