It Was Night

A Love Poem

It Was Night

.
It was night--yes, a night
that we shall n'er forget;
It was night
when my love and I first met.

We walked through the sand dunes
hand in hand;
Watched the tiny creatures
scamper through the sand.

Blue waters sparkled,
murmured sweet lullabies;
The moon left trails of silver,
leading to the skies.

We dreamed,
made plans in whispers,
awed by the night;
And wondered of our future--
stretching out of sight.

It was night
