And Just Like That- TRI

Through the park I walked, alone 
As the moon reflected off the lake 
I made a wish and tossed a stone 
A sleeping owl, I did awake 

As the moon reflected off the lake  
Echoes chimed from the owl's hoots 
Distant sounds- train's whistle toots 

I made a wish and tossed a stone 
Perhaps beneath the stars so bright 
I just might find my love tonight  

A sleeping owl, I did awake 
He hooted a symphony that rose above 
And just like that, there was my love

Who says I'm a romantic? Your poem really touched my heart with its implications.

An owl's symphony, how lovely. My favorite lines are your last four. Nature and love together make a wonderful pair. I'm happy you found yours.

Quite an eerie scene you paint with your words Charlie, at least she turned up. Tom

Very romantic, Charlie, with vivid images that take me into your pensive walk in the park! The last line is so uplifting. Hope all is well. Blessings, my friend!
