Love By Starlight
Karen Torbiak
2000

She can smell
the salt in the air
filling her nostrils
as she slowly walks
up the hill that
overlooks the ocean

She breaths deeply
and sighs with pleasure
as the fresh breeze
fills her lungs
leaving her with
a feeling of serenity

This is her favorite
place to come
where she can
rest and lose herself
in contemplation
of the world around her

It is late evening and
all is wrapped in
the silence and darkness
of a star filled sky
casting just the smallest
amount of light

She has no need of
a moon this dark
night as she finds
her way guided
only by a brilliant
sky of starlight

As she nears the
the top of the cliff
high above the
crashing surf
she notices a shadow
sitting at the top

Something deep within
her comes to life
as she feels without
really knowing
this is a man who
will share this night

With complete trust
born of her spirit
she moves forward
and takes her place
at his side feeling
this is where she belongs

The silence of the night
enfolds them
with just the crashing
of the surf far below
on the rocks
to break the serenity

He moves closer
to her side gently
placing his arm
over her shoulders
and drawing her
close into his side

They lean with comfort
against each other
sharing the beauty
and gentleness
of a soft, warm night of
Love By Starlight

Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. http://path2riches.com

Startime,

You have painted a lovely vision here. Wonderful writing. Soft and sweet!
