softly walking on a sunset beach
sand sprinkling grains like a salted shaker
warm sun setting, curtains drawing closed
haze-moon glowing like a beach ball thrown

hand follows hand in soft embrace
whispers grow silent with the coming night
the gait of steps slows to let snails pass by
and the sun disappears o'er horizon's line

the moonbeams dance with the glee of a child
and stars begin their glistened glow
arranging sprinkles 'cross the darkening sky
simple waves lap the shore and wet their feet

her hair blows in a gentle breeze
with highlights of night-beams splintering
he smiles and thinks, then thinks and smiles
she turns her head to face the light

and down the beach you hear someone say,
"let's walk tonight in nature's way"

"sand sprinkling grains like a salted shaker ...

haze-moon glowing like a beach ball thrown ...

the gait of steps slows to let snails pass by ...

the moonbeams dance with the glee of a child ..."

So many fanciful lines you have served in this one.  You made me use a spoon, cause I did not wish to miss a drop!

But most of all thanks for writing this line, it truly did make this reader smile ... just terrific!

"he smiles and thinks, then thinks and smiles"

Excellent write!

Janette

always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same
