Marriage

Imposing chapel

stretching into the vastness of the sky

symbolic of the faith that history has seen

He stepped in, greeted by the hymns

reverberating the intensity

captured within, stirring up emotions

of even the uninitiated, non-believer

 

She floated in besides him

the ritual began

burning of the incense

cleansing, purifying

the messengers of god

invocation of him, they chant

when the bishop holding the magnificent scepter

solemnized the union

it seemed as if time stood still

bells must have tolled in the heavens

the gods chuckling, yet another victim

 

But for the twosome, it has just begun
