In Gentle Night - Valentine's Collection

(Valentine's Collection)

6.

In gentle night
Luna's light shines
delight does sing

My Valentine
your divine heart
does shine with joy

Now by love's shore
I implore you
adore love's song

Now together
we weather storms
feather light dreams

Delight does sing
Luna's light shines
In gentle night

(The last verse was deliberately wrong for I wanted to end the piece with the last verse being the first verse upside down. My choice)

Hi Tom, thank you for dropping by and the comment on my Than-Bauk, it is much appreciated. I am so glad you liked the piece. This one was difficult to do. I always have such trouble with short forms. The first verse is the one that took the most time. I had to be able to turn it over at the end. Have a wonderful Tuesday. Your friend always....Mike.

Hi Heidi, thank you for dropping by and the comment on my Than-Bauk. it is much appreciated. I am so glad you liked the piece. I found it difficult to do this one. The Than-Bauk is not a form associated with love. Still, I thought I would give it a try. Still upon the journey. Have a wonderful Tuesday. Hugs....Mike. XX

Hi Vijay, thank you for dropping by and the comment on my Than-Bauk, it is much appreciated. I am so glad you liked the piece. The journey continues, another poem, another form, the heart sings into a Valentine's dream. This form was quite difficult for me. The Than-Bauk form is not one usually associated with love. have a wonderful Tuesday. Hugs....Mike. XX

The first verse was the most difficult to do. I had to be able to turn it for the end of the liece. Have a wonderful Monday. Hugs....Mike. XX
