Moonlit MurmursIn moonlit moments,
I quicken to hear sleeping murmurs,
your heart dares to dream, My Love.
Yesterday’s memories
today’s fatigue
tomorrow’s journey.

A vacation was needed,
off on a cruise we were treated.
Great cabin, food, parties and shows,
now in a chair with a book about a rose.
The seas got really rough,
off the desk went our stuff.

Collectively we never get enough due to our hectic lives we keep
