When Night Shadows Fall

~*Marge Tindal*~

When the night shadows fall, quilting me in
I turn and I toss, still thinking of him
The giggles shared in the still of the night
Familiar arms holding until first light

I turn and then I toss, trying to sleep
I see him standing there counting my sheep
Counting the memories shared, eternally
I know in his heart he's thinking of me

Memories written on parchment in rhyme
Sharing and caring forever through time
Sung on the heartbeat of two souls meeting
Sometimes a chorus, just bears repeating

When the night shadows fall, wrapping me tight
snuggled in memories written last night~

~Bill~ in sweet dreaming memories~
Thank you for each of them~

===================================

woohoo...heres to inspiration born of the night...
this is lovely and sooooo romantic Margie...
reminds me a bit of "Moonlight Shadows Dancing"...like this is part 2.
So nice to see your muse so enchanted  
me


This distance has shown how the road remains alone
Now I'm looking in my life ... for a truth that is my own.

Marge - I really enjoyed reading this. Chris

You always write with such grace....

Look into the eyes of a man and
you will find the soul of the woman
who loves him...

Since I've banished romance from my life
(Like there was choice - he ran away! *G*)
There's wistful imagine reading your words
For such a perfect end to day.

This is so very lovely, Marge...
