The Lake by Night

We watched as the sun sank into the earth,
Dancing its twin on the shimmering waters.
I called to the cabin to come and observe
And all obliged save for one in the shower.

We watched as the stars slowly came into view
Piercing the sky with the pinpricks of angels.
Blanketing Heaven from light years beyond,
Touching our souls with their awesome splendor.

You take my hand and we cling to each other
Tasting the night without judgement or pause.
Savoring moments too special to question
With reason or rhetoric.  Silence prevails.

A breeze gently rustles the lush green foliage
Then ripples the shore of her watery surface.
Tiny dances amuse the moonlight's reflection
Then silently tiptoe away.

Breathlessly waiting the scene to develop,
Watching the passion arise in your eyes,
A scene too precious to share with a stranger,
Enfolding our hearts in her watery arms.
