The night passes by
and we fail to
notice -

The fullness of the moon,
the crisp bite of
winter
air...

Or the stillness that lies beneath the
rush of crowds.


There is still time.


So I take your hand and we
walk into the night.


This is our present to each other...to
ourselves -

To the night.

We sit...and unwrap it slowly.
~


Happy Solstice!

The day is short...yet the night...the night
is long.

Love,
Eric

I'm still learning to write but my editor friend says I will be good if I keep working. I want to be as good as you and not need a friend to edit what I write.

Pure winter magic.  You create such warmth in the frozen day; such light in the long night.

Beautiful... enchanting... heartwarming.  A wonderful way to celebrate the solstice.

Thank you.

I love you,

Moca

Let's hear it for long nights spent in this fashion!  Once again, you succinctly remind us to look at the positive...you are simply remarkable. Thank you.

Sweet one to read...the night gives the private times to be just two... A kiss for you, and your love to share. Merry Christmas.

What a comfortable poem.  Sitting in the night as just the two of you.  That sounds nice.

I adore this poem of yours for the atmosphere it creates, soft and warm and for the memories it evokes. A touch of hands can be all we need to make the night sparkle in our hearts.

So I take your hand and we
walk into the night.


This is our present to each other...to
ourselves -

To the night.



Winter solstice

... there is still time ...

I love you.
