Silent One
7 syllables


Candles dance, soft music plays
Peace emerges many ways
A night with toast of champagne
Smiles shared, they will not refrain
A kiss soft as petals shared
Love like the candlelight flared

If only this place could stay
With dreams stopping time to play
Their laughter sparks in the night
Dark thoughts flee from pure light
They're like two birds in a nest
Together, comforted, blessed

Then, hand in hand they will fly
Promises without goodbye
Knowing more celebration
Will ignite such elation
Flying with this gratitude
Born from hearts, sights will be viewed
