Forever

We made promises long ago
but the rush of currents near the waterfall
formed a vortex below the rocks
threatened to take us down into the caves
underneath the waterline
where rescuers couldn’t hear our screams
tossed into the churning waters of mistrust
thrust upon the ragged edges of doubt
strangled with the weeds of jealousy
slammed against the bottom of despair
struggled to release the fear
grasped onto the branch of hope
we let love buoy us to the top
to keep the promises we made so long ago.
