She saw him, tall as the trees, wearing a smile of silk...a gift of song and a ten gallon hat that hid the gleam of his eyes... A warm summer’s night, music floating across the ripples...waves gently lapping the weathered sides of a vintage boat. Destiny drove them....as hidden currents tugged at two hearts and lights danced beneath a shimmering moon... A kiss, held back....an embrace that never came....a bond that never broke, a vow that never shattered... He smiled softly as she slept, there in his arms....along a river of forgotten dreams...and remembered moments when the dance was danced alone... In wait of when....of where... |

though I will always follow my Destiny, ... I will always dream of the smiles of Hope, and the hold of Faith .... You've got the ladies swooning on this one my friend! |

The ending line could have begun this lovely, and finished it, just so... a magical tale, it most certainly is... weave one again, soon. |

A warm summer’s night, music floating across the ripples...waves gently lapping the weathered sides of a vintage boat. Sighs...I've missed reading you, glad your back...how lovely |
