A Marriage

The poem A Marriage by Michael Blumenthal is a poem that many of us can relate to. Blumenthal talks of holding up a 'ceiling' by yourself and how hard that might be. The ceiling Blumenthal is getting at here is that this ceiling is life and everyone struggles holding back the hardships of life. It is when you have a lover/spouse to help you hold up that ceiling then life begins to have more of a meaning for you.
