Music of the Night

In full twilight surrender.
Whippoorwills chirped as they danced.
Asteria strummed her lyre
for them; music of the night!
The newlyweds stepped out for
a romantic rendezvous
under billions of bright stars!

New commitment for a life together under the covenant of ancient stars. "Twilight surrender" a metaphor with so many layers. Just enchanting and elegant, Edward. So many beautiful pictures. Congratulations!
