On a Night Such as This Below tropic skies on a night such as this The Southern Cross blessed every passionate kiss The night was our glorious blanket of love That lit up the mountains and spaces above So bright was each star in the black of the sky The earth stood and watched as the heavens passed by And I in a daze like an innocent child As the stars witnessed love twinkling down as they smiled So splendid the little stars’ beautiful light The moon had no moment to capture the night Elizabeth Santos |

What a beautiful picture you painted, and I could also feel that balmy breeze kissing my cheek - I get right into it  Beautiful, just lovely.~Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self~ Cyril Connolly |
