Lovers' Stroll

a cool evening moon glows
    she peers with sudden intent
        the stars glisten as the wind blows
           the clouds flew swiftly as they went

               her mind strains with blissful wonder
                  the moment so fleeting yet cherished
                     trees bent over as she looked under
                        oh, that moon wistfully vanished

	          smiling she pondered the gift
	       her heart rejoiced as he spoke
	    her soothed mind gave her a lift
	 her love so strong in her awoke

       ah, romance dwells sweet
   our spirits are uplifted
praising each other we repeat
   how blessed we are and gifted

       said he “you’re beautiful and fair”
          smiling she received his praise
	    his love for her transcended there
	       she hugged him after a gaze

		their walk continued near the beach
		   the sun reflected on the water
		 a precious moment they did reach
	       as their love welled warm and softer

	   day after day they walked along
         sharing their hearts’ desire
     mending wounds in silent song
eternal union to inspire
