A gift for us

I have gazed deep into your eyes

I have heard your soft contented sighs

After, in lucid silence, plainly spoken

Message only, no promise broken

Like steps descending, one at a time

On us alone the bright lights shine

We linger perfectly in sync

Then coast together o’r the brink.

Soft, warm, light of afterglow

Well lighted step below

A path for us to show

Something we can only know

Together
