The Late Walk

Taking a walk by the lovely lake
under the canopy of the sunlight
watching its effect on the water
makes one wish never-ending night

With your loved one hand in hand
thinking only of one’s deep affection
wishing never to let go of your grip
feeling assured this is a pure connection

The night's atmosphere so haunting
making each one’s love to inspire
stillness is so totally enrapturing
a moment you never want to tire

Consider well this providential act
that brought us both to be as one
stand amazed this all happened
by a divine hand, this has done

This is a wonder one has to behold
love fully pictured by this late walk
love so beautifully meant to share
memories that a kiss could not block

(walking hand in hand!)

Walking hand in hand is "a pure connection of one’s deep affection." Yes it is, when you're that close. Time is frozen and nothing else matters. This is so beautiful and romantic. Your thoughts caress gently around me and my heart. Many wonderful blessings to you, Gordon. :) Hugs, Brandy
