A Walk By the River

This moment so precious and long awaited,
Hand and hand we walk the pathway along the river,
The warm summer breezes gently blows pass,
It carries a song of love,
A fantasy and a dream come true,
The mountains reach for the heavens,
And the summer foliage hangs carefree over the waters edge,
We find ourselves in a comfortable silence,
Absorbing one another's energy by a simple glance and smile,
Scattered crescent stones that entice the passer by,
Has called our names for a moments embrace,
It was as though this day was created for  us,
And our souls reunited from a deep slumber,
A walk by the river,
A kiss by the shore,
A memory lasting for eternity,
Sealed by the sweet smell of summer.
