It Happened On a Rainy Night-Collaboration

Foggy mists engulfed the bright 
When raindrops fell throughout the night 
The lampposts glowed at midnights dark 
When sweethearts kissed at Lover's Park

Only starting or just begun 
Synchronous melding joined as one 
Rhythmic breathing no thought for pause 
Merged together, effect and cause

Yep, the song came on just as I was looking up at the sky. Clusters of cumulus, after blistering days of summer, a rainstorm.

Hello Lasaad, thank you for the vote of confidence, one can never be sure in a collaboration which direction to take, and just hope we leave enough scope for an additional stanza to bounce off, I appreciate the visit, cheers David
