Broken Vow

And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbour as yourself.

She took him to be her husband
to have and to hold from that day forward
for better
for worse
for richer

and that was her solemn vow

when he stopped loving Him, himself and her

requires the patience and skills of
an artisan watchmaker

it took my breath away
I have looked at it many times
it is a bit out of focus
reminds me of a misty lake
the illusion it creates is
exceedingly beautiful
