As evening’s light begins to wane And stars slowly claim their place Chillness fills the air Falling gently on summer’s ebb In darkness embers glow Adrift on river’s pools Alight in fragrant incense Reflections dance and paint the night A lovers' stroll at water’s edge Hands held tight, hearts kept close Candles guide their steps Shadows claim their form A ghostly image plies the stream Bathed in white and silent rhythm The scent of roses fills the air With messages for heart and hope Vessels ripple through the dark Exposed by fire’s glow Silent in their motion In tune with beat of hearts within When light begins to wane And stars do claim their place Come with those who share your love Of water’s peace and evening’s fire
