One Thing We Agreed On

Candy ribbon amber skies tantalized my imagination tonight there was an eclipse the second we saw a touch of moonlight our boat was still. In silence we waited, expecting something. What wonderfulness could this mystical ethereal evening bring? My three companions felt compelled to be silent too. We sat in the boat, admiring the sky with its amber hue. Suddenly a white dove flew past with something red in her beak. We looked at each other, but there was not a peep or a squeak. I felt I had been kissed with a messenger from heaven herself. We sat silently, waiting for the next faerie, sea witch or elf. It was a night we recalled later, each of us having not enough prose. The one thing we agreed upon…..the white dove held a red rose.
