The moon's dance and the boy's enchantment with his partner's grace further illustrate the power of love.

Embraced in love’s Hold

A Love Poem

Night settles softly On the evening shade, As the sun takes leave And the colors fade.

Nature slows her pace And the world grows still, As the creatures of night Begin to fill.

The crickets and cicadas Sing their serenade, As the cool breeze whispers Through the leaves in the glade.

I stand upon the bridge, Suspended over the river, Watching as the snowflakes Continue to softly quiver.

I’m tired, like the year that’s ending, Worn out from all that’s passed, From the battles fought and won, To the struggles that did last.

But then I see a young couple walking Hand in hand, laughing in the snow Their love so warm, it breaks through the cold Defeating the intensity of the weather.

Their joyous giggles Ring out through the cold, As they dance and twirl, Embraced in love’s hold.

As the moon twirls and sways, her light illuminates the night, and the boy feels his heart swell, enchanted by her sight.

The boy continues to watch her, mesmerized by her grace, wondering what secrets she hides in her glowing face.

I lift my eyes to the horizon, Where the river meets the sea, And in that moment, something stirs, A feeling wild and free.

So though I’m tired, I know That I have the laughter to keep on, To rise up from the ashes And to greet the coming dawn.
