God, the Romantic

The earth says goodnight as the sun lowers for a kiss, While the moon edges upward, overlooking in the sky The mountain tops reach with snowy crescent, white As the valleys welcome shade, a blanket to the eye. ~~~~ The earth is enshrouded in darkness, but also with light As the luminescent radiance of the moon sets the scene I, walking the valley, with my lover’s hand in mine Smile in her presence, with a love, never fleeing. ~~~~ With a look…a shadow…the moon casts upon her face She never looked lovelier…than she does at this time As if God, himself, lit the candles, upon our tables Leaving us to dance…to enjoy our love…sublime. ~~~~ He even plays the music, by which our hearts beat along The musician that He is, selecting beautiful nature, to play. My lover and I enjoying the evening set for just us two While God sets this scene, before night turns to day.

Oh how lovely Michael. Such beautiful imagery. And the line 'The musician that He is, selecting beautiful nature, to play'...nature does have beautiful music if we just close our eyes and listen.

Michael I reckon that God must be quite the romantic though I never really thought about it before - God Bless, MJ
