Under Cover of Night

The ambient moon hangs graciously over us this evening
As the autumn breezes chill us just enough to stir senses
But, yet we walk together, enjoying the time we have 
…..In the moonlight…
The sound of quiet and distant traffic does little to distract
While we traverse the offerings of earth and the moment
As we make way to the destination of our hearts and minds
…..In the moonlight…

Michael this is truly beautiful - I loved the repetitive lines and how they hold the poem together - About my poem I'm 6'-2" and my wife is about 5'-7' so when we walk she fits perfectly under my arm - All though always she is her own person - As much as I do love my dog it is no comparison to the way I adore my wife - Sounds like you and i have a lot in common in that regards - Love your poetry my friend, God Bless, MJ

Such a beautiful, tranquil poem, Michael. I just love the penultimate two lines. Wonderfully written and a joy to read. Nigel
