Notes About The Poem

Written - 20th July 2026

 

A Moonlight Dance

Long ago beneath the moonlight glow We danced together, up close and slow Caressed by midnight’s velvety hue You asked me if I would marry you. My soul went soaring to outer space I whispered I would, as my heart raced Though many obstacles came our way We huffed and puffed and blew them away.

Dear Beryl, There’s a sweetness that feels lived-in, not imagined, and the rhyme gives it that gentle sway of two people moving together. A lovely, romantic piece. Blessings, Daniel

Reads like a good contender to me, Beryl. I know that it wasn't easy because marriage is hard in the best of circumstances because two very different people come together to try to become one. Your way so romantic. Way to go. Sara K.

Thank you Sara, it was someone who should have known better who caused the pain and the strain, without mentioning that person’s name. However things got better in time, though one never forgets cruel words and deeds… Beryl
