A Romantic Journey In Cinquains

The Awakening
Morning
Silence, golden
Stirring, warming, blooming
Hope shall awaken with the dawn
Awake

Steps Forward
Dreaming
Softness, sharing
Growing, reaching, daring
Soft footprints upon the pathway
Advance

Midday Dance
Sunlight
Bold, unyielding
Shining, lifting, guiding
Hearts beating in a steady rhyme
Alive

Evening Whispers
Shadows
Cool, retreating
Soothing, calming, fading
Soft hush of a gentle twilight
Release

Night’s Embrace
Starlight
Silent, tender
Watching, yearning, dreaming
Temptations unite all to rest
Complete.
