It paints a soft, blue hue around the pair;
They lay cuddled on the blanketed grass.
Gazing at the stars, breathing the crisp air;
It’s a feeling nothing else can surpass.
It throws a pale glow from above the trees,
Guiding them through the back road’s every bend.
Their hair dances in Summer’s mellow breeze;
It’s a moment they wish would never end.
It streams through their bare apartment’s window;
Cool white blends with warm orange from the hearth’s fire
And wraps them as they watch the falling snow;
The perfect scene to stay still and admire.
Love feels richer, stronger, deeper, at night,
When it takes reign of the skies and shines bright.
