The Tender Getaway

a whisper
stirs silence
in the
air we
share
and finds us
in a place
beneath
fallen rainbows
slid
under sunsets
in darkness
dripping candles
and there
in those
moments
I am
not afraid
to share
myself
and let
all go
to be
in the
tender getaway

I like this all the way to the end, then I get confused. Maybe I'm just too tired, hope it's not because I'm too dense.

can you try help me understand the "tender getaway" in the contest of the poem, pretty please

This flows so well with such fine images, I don't want to miss any part of its meaning

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
