A vow

Soothing Sunday breeze

Filled the moment of silence

Right after that question.

Oh how that one line

Set his sense of surety ablaze.

Cold feet, is what people call it

But he knew it just wasn’t it

There they stood

On the altar

Bride-to- be smiling

Through her veil

Her eyes spoke what

Any bride would

“I want to spend the rest

Of my life with you”

But him, is this what

He truly wanted?

This seemingly eternal union

Just a snare or a true reverie?

He could feel the eyes

 of the guests on them,

looking forward to

the expected.

Listen to your heart and

They’d call you fanciful

Listen to your head and

They’d call you hard nosed

Either way they’d

call you something

But her , she yearned for

This dreamy moment

From the time he met her

Its all that glowed in her eyes

To do right by her

Is what he always wanted

If this was the right, then..

“I do” he answered.
