This poem was written while being stranded by being flooded in during Hurricane Harvey in 2017. While at the surface it was a disaster it was the event that forged the relationship with my beautiful Marianne... I lost almost everything materially but gained so much more in true riches.

Wind... Growling with intensity Like an angry Beast Lightning... Flashing so brightly As to bring day to night Rain... Pouring upon pouring As if to drown our world Comfort... In each other’s arms Shielding each from the Tempest Knowing... That regardless Love would carry us through Love... So intense and intimate Bond us from here to ever after
