Couple On a Walk

The trees do shine like the morning sun beams There is a humble light that moves as streams To bring a warm, calm feel throughout this spot Where rain surely fell, right here so I thought There are gas lamps that are lit on the poles Cobblestone path is quite wet with some holes And light is reflected off the pathway As nature shines below where the leaves lay A couple walks through the misty evening Enjoying the crisp air that they’re breathing They are caressed by all of what surrounds Not a peep is expressed, there’s not a sound They pass an old wooden bench from years past And wonder how long this warm night will last Russell Sivey

a nice view of an older time, Russel. I can just see those gas lamps and cobblestone path. Or maybe those things still exist in some older towns. So quaint!

Oh....how romantic and sweet. I love sonnets. They are so.....grand. I love the images you evoked here with your words...Sometimes, no words are needed....the silence is one of love and understanding. Thanks for sharing this beauty.
