Beneath the Moon

Beneath the moon we share our lives Upon benches, along the drives, Like others have sat many times Distant places, different climes, For this is how a true love jives. Couples hold hands and love survives Exchanging stories while love thrives, Listening to village church chimes Beneath the moon. A passing couple gives “high fives” Playing music, the moon dives Behind clouds, then it gently climbs, I kiss her and think not a crime To seal our love, our bliss-filled lives Beneath the moon. written June 26, 2021
