The day has done it’s best now
Making weary the laugh lines left damp
In the spray of the river dancers
And I am just the sheerest observer
Taking in the strum of a teak guitar
Watching you, as the crackle of wood
Brings the scent of harmony to me

And you, less conscious of what I see
Your silhouette so perfectly alight by the fire
Half poured glasses of Chardonnay sing crystal clear
A celebration of a moment I have dreamed redundantly
Peacefulness embraces me
In a pleasure more intense within it’s own anticipation
The ways that you sip silence into victory

So crisp the strum of vertical horizons
Red and gold submit upon the velvet skin of everlasting

I felt like I was there eavesdropping ... and capturing the harmony.

So beautiful!

TD

You wrote, "Peacefulness embraces me".  That's how I felt while reading this beautiful poem.
