Summer Night

Soft summer rain,

Sweet summer night,

The sound of the river,

Murmuring by.

Lights on the water,

Exotically paint,

A fantasy world,

Where my heart wants to stay!

The first flush of love,

Inextricably paired,

With the beauty all 'round,

Which you and I shared.

The sand underfoot,

A warm, gentle breeze,

Caressing our skin,

We so want to please.

Through quiet drifts sound

A loud, joyful noise,

A sweet, soulful song,

A beautiful voice!

A perfect end,

To a beautiful night,

In my memory burned

For the rest of my life!
