We lay as one together
…beneath a midnight sky,
Beside a campfire’s embers,
…as slowing flames did die,
Nary a word was spoken,
…no sound but night’s reprise,
A whispered wind, a distant loon,
…beneath the starlit skies,
Then through the vastness of the night,
…in suddeness did race,
A shooting star ‘cross heaven’s vault,
…then gone without a trace.
It was as if a skipping rock
…had creased a placid pond,
Then disappeared into dark depths,
…to seek what lies beyond.
I felt the beating of your heart,
…I heard your gentle sigh,
As one we lay in silent awe,
…beneath a midnight sky.

Such a wonderful poem you've penned here, more poets here need to get a taste of it.
