Valentine Rendezvous

Through gossamer dark, to the moon I look Piercing ink-splattered sky, a spot of bright Reflecting your face in the pewter brook Guided by the script of your hand I took We journeyed far to rendezvous this night Through gossamer dark, to the moon I look Your letters of love completing this book I follow our path by memory's sight Reflecting your face in the pewter brook In sharp chilling gusts, ivory leaves shook Compelled to conquer this mountain's cold height Through gossamer dark, to the moon I look Of pristine crystal water I partook Visions redeemed within silken starlight Reflecting your face in the pewter brook Bruised steps lifted me to your hidden nook My valentine, you made the labor light Through gossamer dark, to the moon I look Reflecting your face in the pewter brook. 1/26/19 for Midnight Valentine contest Sponsor: Chantelle Anne Cooke
